MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE CAPTAL STACK™

THE FOUNDER

Jill Godden

Founder & CEO of Moonshotnx & Maxnx
Architect of the Capital Stack Platform™ Model

Jill didn’t build the Capital Stack Model because she wanted to run another accelerator. She built it because she was tired of watching brilliant founders — especially those outside the Silicon Valley bubble — get passed over, undervalued, or trapped in systems that weren’t designed for them.

She’s been on both sides of the table: raising capital as a founder, deploying it as a VC, and advising funds with billions under management. What she saw was clear: the startup world doesn’t have a founder funding problem — it has a capital stack access problem.

And so the
Capital Stack was born. A new model. A fast model. A capital-first, stack-based accelerator where founders don’t have to beg to be heard. Where money moves quickly, mentoring comes with meaning, and startup dreams aren't delayed by broken funding systems.

Jill combined everything she knew from decades in venture capital, private equity, and global fund advisory — from MaxNX to MAXF1 — to engineer a founder-led funding engine. One that starts with grants, flows into STACK capital, and brings institutional VCs to the table — not after demo day, but during onboarding.

“I created
THE CAPITAL STACK MODEL because no founder should be held back by geography, network, or jargon. If you have the grit and the product, we bring the capital. Fast.”

Under her leadership, MoonshotNX Maxnx have deployed millions in funding across 40+ countries — not just investing in startups, but in ecosystems, futures, and ambition itself.

This isn’t just an accelerator. It’s Jill’s answer to a system that needed rewriting.
