Invest in Moonpreneur Inc (DBA, Moonshot Junior)

Innovation and entrepreneurship are NOT taught in K12 education, and students don’t realize their passion until university or later. Moonpreneur Inc is filling those voids by igniting a spark, and letting the entrepreneurial process teach business and life-skills, so every child can reach their potential. This disruptive form of education was started in 2021 by Bay Area-based serial-entrepreneur, IIT grad, Alok Jain, who coached his 13-year-old daughter to successfully launch her business. Soon, several friends were showing interest. That number grew to 40 students by year-end, 280 the following year, and 670 by 2022. This 3-7x annual growth is expected to moderate slightly to 2-4x putting the student count at 2,500, 7,500 and 15,000 students in the next 3 years.

If this interests you, then this is a suitable opportunity for you to become part of Moonpreneur's journey as an investor and if you happen to have school going kids at home then you may also become a customer and experience & evaluate our products and offerings first hand.

Moonpreneur, a Silicon Valley startup aims to disrupt education and EdTech in particular, via its patent-pending, outcome-focused program.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship is NOT taught in K12 education:

• Future of work and college admissions are changing, and the current K12 education system is not keeping up
• Students don’t realize their passion till university or even later
• Over 80% educator agree that their key concern is how to ignite interest among students

The opportunities we are creating:

• Revolutionary Launchpad and STEM platform to create future innovators and entrepreneurs ( Early mover advantage)
  
• We help the students in the early realization of their passion
• Skill-building (technical, soft and entrepreneurial) in children through hands-on product creation
• Introducing structured product innovation to K12 students
• Provide hands-on experience of product building and launching to children

Do you know that the Future Of Work Will Demand Several key Skills including Curiosity, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Empathy, Resilience, Imagination & Creativity, Networking & Relationship.

Though, we believe, each one of us is gifted, but still, the top 5 percentile students can really maneuver the systemic gaps. What happens to the remaining 95%? Well, unfortunately, the remaining 95%, especially at a younger age, struggle with challenges due to lack of access, interest and overall motivation.

At Moonpreneur we are looking to change that!

We believe that every child has the potential to innovate and leave an impact on the world. And we are on a mission to ignite the spark of innovation and entrepreneurship in every child so that they can reach their potential.

Our platform encourages and motivates children and teaches them all of the key skills for the future of work in an outcome-focused and fun-filled learning environment.

With our methodology & processes, every child undergoes experiential learning by building a prototype using design thinking and presenting their ideas to the world and finally launching the innovation in the market. Our hands-on programs combine a world-class pedagogy of teachers and methodologies, learning kits, curriculum, real-world applications and thus teaching our students product-building experience in a scalable way.

Learning Kits

We are building learning kits which not only help us in delivering our current programs successfully, but also these kits can be marketed as stand alone products in future. Here is an example of one of our learning kit:

Why Virtual Classrooms/Cohorts:

Our focussed mode of delivery is via online classroom approach where children learn together with individual attention from teachers:

• Kids learn better when they learn together with their peers
• Children show higher engagement and motivation level when other children in the class start asking questions or start performing better.
• Scalability is high with the classroom mode of delivery
• With global audience in the same classroom, our children are getting exposure to multiple cultures
• We ensure that children learn at the learning pace which is suitable to them
• With the prevalence of school education globally and due to online delivery of classes due to corona, kids are already conditioned to learning in online classrooms settings
• Hands on learning using physical products which is complemented by online tools like tinkercad, code.org etc
•  Post Corona, parents continue to prefer "add-on" classes (i.e. outside of regular school) that their children can attend from the comfort of the home.
