Focus and fit

Who the program is for

Program thesis

Moonshots invests in exceptional leadership, often veteran founders, building early-stage technology companies with meaningful missions and service-oriented leadership.

Eligibility

Public evidence indicates the program is primarily for active-duty military officers, transitioning service members, defense acquisition professionals, veterans, or MBA venture fellows entering venture investing through partner pathways.

Selection approach

No public Moonshots application form was found. Available evidence suggests candidates enter through partner programs such as Army Training With Industry, Defense Ventures, SkillBridge-style military transition pathways, or UT McCombs Venture Fellows, then are placed or embedded with Moonshots.
