What Is the STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX?
The STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX is a proprietary venture capital structuring instrument used within the Moonshot capital infrastructure. It is designed to align valuation discipline, investor expectations, and capital stack integrity before institutional fundraising.
The STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX is not related to STACK Infrastructure or any data centre operator. It is a venture financing instrument created for startup capital structuring inside the Moonshot ecosystem.
Why the STACK Note™ Exists?
Early-stage fundraising frequently breaks at the capital structure layer.
Common failure points include:
Inflated or unstable valuation anchors
Misaligned SAFE structures
Incoherent convertible note mechanics
Cap table compression before institutional rounds
Lack of sequencing discipline across funding tranches
The STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX exists to introduce structural order before institutional exposure.
It is designed to:
Preserve optionality
Protect capital stack sequencing
Reduce downstream negotiation friction
Improve institutional review outcomes
It is not a crowdfunding instrument.
It is not a public marketplace listing tool.
It is a capital structuring layer within Moonshot’s controlled fundraising pathway.
How the STACK Note™ Works?
The STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX operates within a defined capital stack framework.
At a high level:
The company undergoes structured readiness assessment.
Valuation assumptions are stress tested.
Governance and cap table alignment are reviewed.
The STACK Note™ is structured to fit the capital sequencing plan.
Investor exposure occurs only after readiness thresholds are met.
The instrument is used as part of a disciplined progression toward institutional capital, not as a substitute for preparation.
Unlike generic convertible instruments, the STACK Note™ is integrated into a broader infrastructure that includes:
Institutional readiness scoring
Financial model scrutiny
Governance alignment
Diligence structuring
Execution sequencing
It functions as a structural bridge within a controlled capital design, not as a standalone fundraising shortcut.
STACK Note™ vs SAFE
A SAFE is a widely used early-stage instrument designed for speed and simplicity.
The STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX differs in intent and positioning.
The distinction is not about legal form alone. It is about structural integration.
STACK Note™ vs Convertible Note
Convertible notes introduce maturity dates and interest mechanics. They can create timing pressure and negotiation friction if not aligned to a disciplined capital plan.
The STACK Note™ by MoonshotNX is designed to reduce structural misalignment before institutional review. It is deployed as part of a defined capital architecture rather than as a standalone instrument.
The objective is not speed alone. The objective is institutional readiness.

Governance questions intensify
Financial modelling must withstand diligence
