Moonshots Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm that invests in extraordinary leadership. Great leaders are hard to come by. We believe the best ones are military-trained or trial-by-fire entrepreneurs who have the ability to motivate others to action, inspire trust, and plan heuristically. We invest with conviction when those attributes are present. Moonshots Capital was founded by a team of veterans in 2017. We have collectively founded and operated 15 companies, and have personally invested in more than 100 ventures. Beyond capital, we deploy our military and entrepreneurial experience and network to help world-changing companies grow. Work with us. Go to http://www.moonshotscapital.com/. Moonshots Capital.
