2. Moonshot
Designed to support pre-seed to series A startups, Moonshot was established during the bear market.
Our goal was to help leading web3 native companies create sustainable revenue streams.
It has since evolved to help chains accelerate their ecosystems.
2. Why was it founded?
We noticed that the Web3 ecosystem lacks:
- Structure for projects to launch and scale from
- Access to growth capital
- Channels for founders to reliably hire people
- Startups for investors to invest in vs flip
- Reliable & educational content
We've seen many gamified fitness applications launch and incentivize users to stay in shape, most notably
