Moonshot Fund II

The Moonshot Fund invests in startups tackling the hard problems. Our country is not investing enough capital in long-term moonshots that can lead to the next generation of breakthroughs. We want to help fix that.

While we back long-term ideas that may need a decade or two to grow into their full potential, we heavily favor startups that have the discipline to start small, with a plan to commercialize some initial part of their technology within two years. We believe the best way to achieve a long-term vision is to conquer a small hill as fast as possible.  

We will most often invest at the seed-stage, $100,000 or less. 

We plan to make higher-risk investments then is common in software. However, we aim to back startups that can be acquired for their technical talent or patent portfolio if they fail, potentially mitigating losses.
