Copper Sky Capital is a Phoenix, Arizona venture capital firm that launched in 2021 as AZ-VC and took the Copper Sky name in February 2026 when it widened its mandate from Arizona to North America. It is run by managing partners Jack Selby, a former PayPal executive and managing director at Thiel Capital, and Jason Pressman, previously a partner at Shasta Ventures, and it leads seed and Series A rounds in technology companies based outside the Silicon Valley, New York and Boston hubs, taking a sector agnostic approach weighted towards artificial intelligence software. Its first fund closed with more than 115 million dollars in committed capital and has been fully deployed into companies including Etched, Nuclearn, Stax.ai and Peerlogic, and a second fund launched in September 2025 targeting 300 million dollars.

Copper Sky (formerly AZ-VC) files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from AZ-VC Rebrands as Copper Sky Capital as it Continues to Extend its Investment Mandate (PR Newswire, February 2026), AZ-VC II Launches to Fill The Funding Gap For Non-Coastal Startups (PR Newswire, September 2025) and AZ-VC, Bridging the Funding Gap in the Grand Canyon State (PR Newswire, 2022). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.

What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Copper Sky (formerly AZ-VC) where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
