Early stage
Stand Together And Recover (S.T.A.R.) is an Arizona-licensed, peer-run outpatient mental health treatment provider for adults and young adults facing mental health challenges. The organization's history traces back to 1985, when four individuals discharged from Maricopa Medical Center's Psychiatric Annex formed a support group to help each other transition back into the community. This peer-led initiative evolved into Arizona's first peer-run mental health organization and was formally established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in 1987. S.T.A.R. operates as a licensed Outpatient Treatment Center (OTC) with multiple locations in Phoenix, Mesa, and Avondale. The organization's model is centered on combining the lived experience of its staff with licensed clinical services to promote stability, independence, and community integration for its members. Core services include structured peer support, individual and group counseling, and recovery-focused programs. These programs are designed to build coping skills, emotional regulation, and social connections. Peer Support Specialists, who have personal experience with mental health or substance use recovery, play a key role in mentoring and advocating for members. The business model relies on funding from government sources, grants from foundations, and payments for program services. S.T.A.R. accepts various payment types, including Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, and offers a sliding fee scale. In addition to clinical services, the organization provides comprehensive support to address basic needs, offering hot meals, access to food and clothing, and hygiene resources. It also focuses on workforce development by offering training and certifications in areas like Peer Support, CPR/First Aid, and food handling to improve employment readiness.

- Steady Install
Home & living
Steady Install solves one of the most persistent operational headaches in commercial real estate, moving, and construction: finding skilled, reliable installation crews on short notice.Our clients - commercial movers, builders, facilities operators, and project managers - regularly face projects that require coordinated, variable skillsets on tight and often last-minute timelines. Furniture installation, office buildouts, warehouse racking, millwork, moving - the work demands experienced crews who show up, know what they're doing, and can be trusted to represent the client on site. That kind of workforce is nearly impossible to staff without the right network. We've spent six years building that network.Founded in 2019 and bootstrapped from day one, Steady is now relied upon by industry leaders in 9 major markets. The business is capital efficient, recurring, and sticky by nature: clients who trust us with one project keep coming back.
