Moonshots Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2017 by West Point graduates and military veterans Kelly Perdew and Craig Cummings, who began investing in early-stage technology companies as angels in 2004. The firm’s investment thesis centers exclusively on backing “extraordinary leadership,” with particular conviction in military veteran founders and serial entrepreneurs, while remaining sector-agnostic across dual-use defense tech, fintech, AI, cybersecurity, and consumer internet. Moonshots typically invests at the late seed to early Series A stage, with check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per investment, often leading or co-leading rounds when companies have approached $1 million in annual recurring revenue. Notable portfolio companies include Slack, Robinhood, SpaceX, Apptronik, and Cart.com, with the firm reporting 28 exits and over 13 unicorns across its investing history. A distinctive point of view is the firm’s active deployment of military leadership skills, entrepreneurial experience, and government networks to mentor founders beyond capital, emphasizing operational discipline and strategic resilience.
