MoonshotNX FAQ – Legitimacy, Compliance, and How We Help Startups Get Funded

MoonshotNX Myths vs Facts – Frequently Asked Questions

What is MoonshotNX?

MoonshotNX is a Delaware-registered private corporation that operates as a capital stack platform. We help early-stage startups prepare for and access institutional capital by:

• Delivering investor readiness services (valuations, pitch decks, datarooms, legal and compliance support).

• Providing founders with access to the Moonbase Foundation’s $50,000 non-dilutive grant program.

• Connecting founders to a structured funding ecosystem, including MaxNX and the M1 Regional Funds.

Important: MoonshotNX is not a venture capital firm and does not directly provide investment funds. Instead, we facilitate access to grants and funds managed by independent entities.

How does the $50,000 Moonbase Foundation Grant work?

• The Moonbase Foundation issues grants of $50,000 per startup.

• Grant funds are paid directly to approved vendors, not to MoonshotNX or the founder.

• Vendors include 206+ world-class providers like KPMG, Deloitte, Carta, and Wevestr.

• Deliverables include valuations, pitch decks, financial modeling, dataroom setup, and compliance reviews.

This ensures startups are investor-ready and that funds are spent on tangible services, not administrative overhead.

Why is there a $2,999 onboarding fee? Isn’t that an “advance fee”?

No. The onboarding fee is:

• A platform access fee for MoonshotNX to coordinate founder onboarding and vendor allocations.

• Offset by over $2.5 million in perks and credits, including $10,000 AWS credits and discounts on Carta, HubSpot, Airtable, and other essential tools.

• Net zero or positive — founders receive more value back than they pay.

This is fundamentally different from an “advance fee” scam where victims pay but receive nothing in return.

Is MoonshotNX a legitimate company?

Yes. MoonshotNX is:

• A Delaware-registered corporation in good standing.

• Legally independent from the Moonbase Foundation, MaxNX, and the M1 Regional Funds, but integrated into the same ecosystem.

• Governed under U.S. corporate law, with transparency obligations.

You can verify our legitimacy via:

• Delaware Division of Corporations

• SEC EDGAR database

• Better Business Bureau

Why doesn’t MoonshotNX appear in “grant databases” like SBA.gov or Candid.org?

Because MoonshotNX is not a nonprofit grant maker or government agency.

• The Moonbase Foundation is the grant issuer.

• MoonshotNX is the facilitator and platform that enables founders to access those grants and services.

It is a category error to expect MoonshotNX to appear in government “grant databases.”

Does MoonshotNX need to register as an investment advisor with the SEC?

No. MoonshotNX is not a VC fund, broker-dealer, or investment advisor.

• We do not hold or deploy investor funds.

• We do not take equity in startups.

• We provide a platform and facilitation service that connects startups to external funding sources.

The entities that manage capital — such as MaxNX and the M1 Regional Funds — are separate legal structures with their own compliance obligations.

How are MoonshotNX, MaxNX, the Moonbase Foundation, and the M1 Funds related?

• MoonshotNX – A Delaware-registered private corporation. Provides founder onboarding, advisory, and facilitation services. Charges a platform access fee offset by perks.

• Moonbase Foundation – An independent nonprofit foundation. Provides $50,000 non-dilutive grants to startups, deployed through approved vendors.

• MaxNX – A capital platform and placement agent for venture funds. Supports syndicates, manages LP relationships, and deploys institutional capital. They also manage their own fund MaxF1 fund.

• M1 Regional Funds – A family of private regional funds that invest in startups across geographies. These funds are GP/LP structured and raise from accredited investors.

Key Distinction: MoonshotNX does not manage these funds. We are the gateway platform for startups, enabling them to access Foundation grants and — once investor-ready — to be introduced to MaxNX and the M1 funds.

Why do some reports online call MoonshotNX a scam?

Misleading AI-generated reports (e.g., from Grok/Perplexity) and a legal opinion letter we have seen make several errors:

• They assume MoonshotNX “does not exist” because they only checked nonprofit or government grant registries.

• They mislabel the $2,999 onboarding fee as an “advance fee” without recognizing the offsetting perks and direct vendor spend.

• They conflate MoonshotNX with unrelated initiatives such as “Cancer Moonshot” or “Solar Moonshot.”

• They issued conclusions without contacting MoonshotNX or verifying our Delaware registration.

These are errors of fact and category. MoonshotNX is a legally registered U.S. corporation, operating transparently within a structured funding ecosystem.

What services do startups receive through MoonshotNX?

Startups onboarded through MoonshotNX and funded via the Moonbase Foundation receive:

• Valuation Reports – Independent startup valuation with benchmarking.

• Pitch Deck Development – Investor-ready design and narrative.

• Financial Modeling – Structured forecasts for investor diligence.

• Dataroom Setup – Secure, standardized investor dataroom.

• Legal & Compliance Support – IP, regulatory, and contract reviews.

• Investor Relations Access – After readiness is achieved, eligible startups may be introduced to MaxNX for IR services.

MoonshotNX exists to reduce founder friction and increase transparency in the early-stage capital stack.
