K12 education does not include teaching innovation and entrepreneurship, leaving students unaware of their passions until later in life. Moonpreneur Inc is addressing this gap by kindling an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in children and using the business process to teach them vital life skills, thereby enabling them to achieve their potential. Alok Jain, a Bay Area-based serial entrepreneur and IIT alumnus, started this innovative form of education in 2020 by coaching his 13-year-old daughter to successfully launch a business. This venture quickly gained popularity among her friends, with the number of students growing to 40 by the end of the year, 280 the following year, and 670 by 2022 (and over 900 by March, 23). While the anticipated annual growth rate of 3-7x is likely to slightly moderate to 2-4x, the student count is predicted to reach 1700, 6700, and 17,000 over the next three years (each paying $100+/month).

If you find this concept intriguing, you may consider investing in Moonpreneur's journey. If you have children who are currently enrolled in school, you can also become a customer and personally experience and assess our products and offerings.

A Glimpse of Offline Robotics Workshop:

Though we deliver our programs online, we do conduct offline events to appreciate students' performance and for generating leads. These high-energy events are a great place to mingle with other parents and prospective students:

Moonpreneur, a startup located in Silicon Valley, seeks to revolutionize education, with a specific focus on EdTech, through its program that prioritizes outcomes and has a patent pending.

K12 education does not provide instruction in innovation and entrepreneurship, and:

• The future of work and college admissions are evolving, while the current K12 education system is failing to keep up with these changes.
• Many students do not discover their passion until they reach university, or even later.
• More than 80% of educators express concerns about how to spark interest among students.

The opportunities we are creating:

• An innovative Launchpad and STEM platform that gives students an early advantage in becoming future innovators and entrepreneurs. ( Early mover advantage)
• Helping students identify their passions at an early stage.
• Developing technical, soft, and entrepreneurial skills in children by enabling them to create hands-on products.
• Introducing structured product innovation programs to K12 students.
• Providing children with the opportunity to experience building and launching products in a practical way

The future of work will demand essential skills like curiosity, innovation, entrepreneurship, empathy, resilience, imagination, creativity, networking, and relationship building. While we believe that every child has a gift, only the top 5% of students can navigate the systemic gaps. Unfortunately, the remaining 95% struggle with challenges due to a lack of access, interest, and motivation.

At Moonpreneur, we are committed to changing this scenario. We believe that every child has the potential to be an innovator and make a difference in the world. Our mission is to ignite the spark of innovation and entrepreneurship in every child, empowering them to reach their full potential.

Our platform is designed to motivate and inspire children, teaching them essential skills for the future of work in a fun and outcome-oriented environment. With our unique methodology and processes, students engage in experiential learning by utilizing design thinking to create prototypes, present their ideas to the world, and ultimately launch their innovations in the market. Our hands-on programs combine world-class pedagogy, learning kits, curriculum, and real-world applications to provide students with a scalable product-building experience.

Our Offerings:

Our platform offers highly effective and very scalable programs called Innovator Program’ for 7-16yr olds:

1 - Innovator Program

The Innovator Program (IP) caters to children between the ages of 7-16 years old and consists of two modules delivered over a year in a live online format led by an instructor. In this program, students learn cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, smart devices, game and app development, as well as soft skills. Each student gains technical knowledge and entrepreneurial skills and is able to create a prototype, pitch their ideas to a jury, and participate in the global competition, Moonbattle (moonbattle.com). Furthermore, students can use the Moonpreneur crowdfunding platform, moonfunded (moonfunded.com), to raise money and launch their product in the market.

Several students who have completed the program have already launched their products on various platforms such as Amazon/eBay, mobile apps on IOS/Google Play, video games on Unity and Roblox, artworks on NFT platforms, and books on Amazon books, among others. Through our Innovator Program, children develop an entrepreneurial mindset via STEAM, making them ready for the future of work.

Revenue Growth

Moonpreneur has surpassed the proof-of-concept phase and is now generating significant revenue, putting us ahead of most other equity crowdfunding campaigns that are still pre-revenue. We are proud to have grown our team to over 80 full-time employees in just two years since our inception, with over $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue.

Our customer base is rapidly growing by several hundred each month, and our revenues have increased from $200K in 2020 to $464K in 2021 and over $800K in 2022. We are on track to achieve revenue of $1.5+ million by the end of 2023 (although this is not guaranteed).

The Innovator Program, with its multi-year, multi-tier structure, has a high lifetime value since students can be retained for years and engage in multiple projects at a low acquisition cost. We also have a strong pipeline of B2B customers, contributing to our continued growth and success.

TAM

There are multiple ways to analyze the potential market for our offerings. In the US alone, the market for our products and services is valued at $5.5 billion and is expected to continue growing. By expanding to other territories, we estimate that there is an additional market of at least $6.5 billion.

Overall, we see a total addressable market (TAM) of approximately $12 billion or more worldwide.
