Moonshot Educational Programs
At Moonshot, we believe every entrepreneur deserves a clear path forward no matter where they're starting from. That's why we've built three distinct programs designed to meet you exactly where you are, and walk with you as far as you want to go.
Constellations: You're Never Building Alone
Entrepreneurship can be isolating. Our Constellations platform changes that. This private online community connects you with over 250 Moonshot founders and service providers for peer-to-peer learning, resource exchange, and ongoing live and virtual events. Whether you're looking for your first connection or your next collaborator, Constellations is always on and always open.
Founder Fundamentals: From Idea to First Pitch
Not sure where to start? Founder Fundamentals is a nine-lesson, self-paced video curriculum that walks early-stage entrepreneurs through the essentials: identifying your market and customer, validating your idea, understanding your costs, and developing your first business plan. When you complete the program, you'll have a one-page business plan, a business pitch you're ready to deliver, and a Moonshot Founder Fundamentals Entrepreneur Certificate. | SEE THE VIDEO BELOW |
Moonshot Academy: Built for Investment Readiness
When you're ready to get serious about growth and capital, Moonshot Academy is where it happens. This is our most intensive program, a structured journey through business strategy, financial forecasting, competitive analysis, and comprehensive business planning, supported by AI-powered feedback and a dedicated Moonshot mentor. Complete the program and earn industry-recognized credentials — Market Ready and Launch Ready certifications — culminating in a Certificate of Entrepreneurship that signals to CDFIs, community banks, angel investors, and venture capital firms that you mean business. | SEE THE VIDEO BELOW |
A Path for Every Kind of Learner
We designed these programs intentionally. Constellations is self-paced and community-driven. Founder Fundamentals lets you learn on your own schedule with mentor support available when you need it. Moonshot Academy brings the full weight of structured cohort learning, one-on-one mentorship, and cutting-edge technology to bear on your entrepreneurial goals. Whatever stage you're at, there's a place for you here.
A MOONSHOT TESTIMONIAL
“Our journey with Moonshot has been transformative.
We first encountered Moonshot as audience members at their pitch competition in 2021, which inspired us to apply for space in the accelerator building on campus, where we now have our headquarters.
Scott Hathcock and the Moonshot team have continuously supported and connected us with key local contacts—employees, advisers, and investors—who have significantly contributed to our growth.
In 2022, we had the honor of winning the same Moonshot-hosted pitch competition ourselves, which was a turning point, leading us to also win the Venture Madness competition in Phoenix, putting our company, DashLX, on the map.
Since moving from the Bay Area to Flagstaff, with Moonshot’s support, we've experienced 200% growth and secured substantial local investment. The unwavering support from Moonshot, through their programming and the innovative environment of their campus, has been crucial to our success.”
