## About Moonshots Capital

Moonshots Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Austin, Texas, with an office in Los Angeles, founded around 2014 by military veterans. It brings a disciplined, conviction-driven process to identify founders with exceptional leadership building "moonshot"-potential products.

The firm focuses on technology startups reimagining work and personal life across large, growing markets, with particular strength in national-security-adjacent and dual-use technology. It runs a Military Fellow program embedding active-duty acquisition officers to connect Department of Defense needs with emerging commercial tech.

Notable investments include ID.me, Gretel, SandboxAQ, and InfoHawk, alongside a portfolio of 40-plus veteran-led companies. Its general partners have also personally backed well-known companies including LinkedIn, Slack, SpaceX, and Neuralink.

Moonshots Capital's investment criteria emphasize exceptional, often veteran, leadership over pure market timing, using structured evaluation to identify founders capable of extraordinary execution. Its approach pairs seed capital with military and entrepreneurial networks, operational guidance, and government-relationship access to help portfolio companies scale.
