Milestone reflects the platform’s growing role in connecting investment-ready founders with capital, strategic partners and innovation ecosystems across more than 140 countries.
NEW YORK, NY – MoonshotNX, a New York-headquartered global innovation platform with offices in New York, Dubai, London and Amsterdam, today announced that startups and growth companies supported through its global ecosystem have now secured more than US$1 billion in funding, marking a significant milestone in the company’s mission to improve access to capital for entrepreneurs worldwide.
Operating across more than 140 countries, MoonshotNX has evaluated more than 12,000 startups and growth-stage companies, providing founders with structured investment readiness assessments while supporting investors, governments, development finance institutions, universities, accelerators and corporate innovation programmes with transparent, technology-driven venture evaluation.
As competition for venture capital, grants and strategic investment continues to intensify, MoonshotNX has focused on improving the quality of investment opportunities entering the market by helping founders better understand investor expectations before engaging with capital providers.
The platform also provides founders with access to one of the world’s largest curated private investment communities, connecting entrepreneurs with more than 76,000 active investors, including venture capital firms, family offices, angel investors, corporate venture funds and institutional investors actively deploying capital across global private markets.
The US$1 billion funding milestone reflects capital secured by companies that have participated within the MoonshotNX ecosystem through venture investment, grant funding, strategic partnerships and other institutional funding programmes.
“Reaching this milestone is not simply about the amount of capital raised,” said Jill Godden, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MoonshotNX. “It represents thousands of entrepreneurs who have transformed innovative ideas into funded businesses capable of creating jobs, solving meaningful challenges and driving economic growth. Our mission has always been to improve the journey between innovation and investment by making the funding process more transparent, data-driven and accessible.”
Building on this milestone, MoonshotNX recently announced a strategic partnership with the Million Ideas Innovation Fund, expanding the opportunities available to founders participating within the platform.
The Million Ideas Innovation Fund operates five regional investment funds across the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and Asia, representing a combined US$250 million in committed capital. Through the partnership, eligible founders participating in the MoonshotNX ecosystem may be considered for non-dilutive innovation grants of up to US$10,000, followed by pre-seed and seed investments ranging from US$100,000 to US$1 million.
For companies demonstrating exceptional commercial traction, additional follow-on funding opportunities may also be available through MAXF1, MoonshotNX’s Cayman Islands-based investment fund focused on Series A and later-stage growth companies.
Daniel Tan, Managing Partner of the Million Ideas Innovation Fund, said, “MoonshotNX has built one of the world’s most comprehensive investment readiness ecosystems, and this milestone demonstrates the scale of its impact. By combining our US$250 million regional investment platform with MoonshotNX’s global founder network, we are creating stronger pathways for entrepreneurs to access grants, venture funding and long-term institutional capital.”
Together, MoonshotNX, the Million Ideas Innovation Fund and MAXF1 now provide founders with an integrated journey spanning investment readiness, non-dilutive grants, regional venture investment, institutional growth capital and access to a global community of more than 76,000 active investors, further strengthening one of the world’s most connected innovation ecosystems.
