The M1 Fund connects startups with strategic investors, offering tailored funding solutions to accelerate growth and innovation.
Turning crazy ideas into
real companies
Backing bold bets before breakfast.
At Moonshot Fund I, we’re not just writing checks—we’re building alongside founders from day one. Powered by MoonshotNX and backed by a network of experienced operators, investors, and technologists, we bring more than capital. We deliver the operational firepower, strategic access, and hands-on support that early-stage startups need to scale with speed and confidence. From AI and fintech to cleantech and digital health, we back bold ideas with the potential to reshape entire industries.
Moonshot1 is for founders who move fast, think big, and aren’t afraid to rewrite the rules.
It all begins with Big Visions & Fast Execution.
Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, we can help you tell your story and make all the difference.
