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.

Dual-use technology is on the rise, and it's a game-changer for both public and private sectors. 
Craig Cummings and I have been supporting dual-use companies for years both as investors and as board members, and sought to provide an "unfair advantage" through our networks and know-how to companies like ID.me, Red 6, Transmute, Gretel.ai, Outpost, Proteus Space, Inc., Copper Labs, Threatcare, Yonder, and HarvestAi. 

We can attest that building a dual-use company can be a very rewarding journey - not to mention a service to our nation's well-being and security. Craig shared some advice to founders on evaluating their dual-use potential, making strategic decisions on product development, and navigating the complexities of government contracting.
