America’s extraordinary leaders
Founders
Hear from the extraordinary leaders we back.
I wouldn’t be where I am without Kelly Perdew.
“Kelly changed my life by giving me a skillset. He was in the foxhole with me and kept me going through some of my darkest days.”
Blake Hall
ID.me | Co-founder & CEO
Whenever there’s an issue, Craig’s the first person I call. When I mess up, he’s the first person I call. When something really good happens, he’s the first person I call.
Aside from my family members, he’s the only other person in favorites on my phone.

Craig and Kelly are an incredible team.
I have worked with, trusted and respected Craig for 16 years, as we were business partners in our first startup. Craig was the go-to guy and always delivered. Kelly helped me think steps ahead with positioning Harvest.ai and was invaluable in helping me raise our $2M+ seed all the way through our successful exit.

Kelly has always been consistently leaning in, interested, and really desiring to help.
That’s important because there are so many places to go for capital, but money isn’t just money.
If you've been in the military or you grew up in a military family or you understand that value system, Moonshots is going to be a great place to start because you’ll be starting from the same foundation.
Scott Painter
TrueCar | Founder, CEO & CTO
Autonomy | Founder & CEO
Craig was one of our earliest investors and has continued to support us to this very day. When he says he will do something he does it. He is that unique combination of efficacy and integrity you want to have on your team.
I say this often and truly mean it – we simply could not have succeeded without Moonshots.
James Bilodeau
PreFix, Inc. | Founder & CEO
They’re incredible people and incredible advisors.
It’s good to have capital in the early stages of building a company, but it's much better to have capital from people who really understand what you’re doing. I felt that Moonshots was that investor. On the journey from Series A, B, B-1, and C round to now being 1,100 employees, they’ve done nothing but support us as an organization.
Omair Tariq
Cart.com | Founder & CEO
Kelly adds tremendous value strategically and operationally.
He operates with the passion drive of a founder, not a typical investor. I personally know many founders who have been backed by Kelly in the past and the thing that stands out is not only his ability to add value, but his ability to scale this across all of his investments simultaneously.

They’re very supportive, they’re very experienced, they’ve done the whole gambit of taking companies from Seed-stage all the way up to IPOs and everything in between.
Dan Robinson
Red 6 | Founder & CEO
If you’re thinking about partnering with Moonshots Capital: do it.
Make sure that if they’re leading the round or not, they’re on your cap table.
Jordan Glazier
Wildfire | Founder & CEO
Eventful (acq. by CBS) | CEO
If you get lucky, and they’re on your board or your cap table, it’s one of the best decisions you can make.
Alex Vasilikin
Cartwheel | Co-founder & CEO
If you consider value per investment, they’re one of the most valuable ones there are.
If you ask anyone who has interacted with anyone on Team Moonshots, they will forever be folks that they will talk about.
Ali Golshan
Gretel | Co-founder & CEO
We like to work with people who are professional, passionate, and knowledgeable, and that’s the definition of Craig and Kelly and the whole Moonshots team.
Sebastien de Halleux
Matchday | Co-founder & COO
Playfish | Co-founder & COO
I have not met a group that is as connected as Kelly and Craig with Moonshots.
The connection to the government and their rolodex of people that are one phone call away is something that has been super helpful for us.

Investors
Hear from leaders who trust us with their capital.
It’s an incredibly unique fund, unlike any other venture fund that’s out there.
What they do and what they generate from deal flow and from the veteran network: you don’t see that anywhere else.
Victor Pascucci
Energy Capital Ventures | Co-Founder & Managing General Partner
There are extremely interesting opportunities that others overlook that Kelly finds his way to.
Kelly’s got that military background and has more unusual access to things than other investors and the other venture capitalists.
Mark Jeffrey
Stillcore Capital | Partner
I first met Craig in 2016. I thought he was one of the most impressive, engaging, and honest guys I had met.
That’s why you invest. You invest in people.
Doug Jones
Colliers | Executive Vice President
If you’re looking to make informed decisions that lead to good outcomes, I’d recommend Moonshots.
Robert Douthit
Dell Solutions | Former Executive Director
I trust these guys. I trust them as people. I trust them as investors.
They’ve kept that fidelity and that reality in my investing protocols as well as in my life.
J.R. Kraft
BASE | CEO & Founder
Kelly and Craig are two individuals who are on purpose before paycheck.
Discerning what is good for society, where the future is going to lead us -- it’s obviously an easy choice to invest in Moonshots Capital.

New Harvest Entertainment | CEO
