Space is hard. You need more than just a great technical idea or a keen business sense to be successful. Moonshot brings together the diverse combination required to be successful in this challenging business

Dr Andrew Aldrin, Director of the ISU Center for Space Entrepreneurship

I’ve known Moonshot for several years and admire their perseverance and passion for helping early-stage companies figure out how to build a space business. They have strong connections across the industry and are ideally positioned to help the new and upcoming cohort of Australian space startups.

Martin Duursma, General Partner at Main Sequence Ventures

Moonshot has been there for us at every stage of our startup journey - from the very beginning when we were just starting out, until recently when they helped us successfully apply for our first Minimum Viable Product grant.

Taofiq Huq, CEO of Spiral Blue

I joined Moonshot because I believe in unlocking our shared future, our true potential, as a species. Because our grasp should always lie just beyond our reach. And because programs like these keep pushing both further and higher than ever before. Per Aspera Ad Astra.

Michael Koenka, Managing Partner at Koenka & Partners

I can't believe how lucky I've been the past few years getting into the space industry, and if I think back I can trace most of my connections back to Troy and Moonshot.

Space is the next frontier for humans and technology and Australia should and needs to have a footprint there. Moonshot is a direct and close-to-the-metal way for me to have an impact.
