Global innovation platform strengthens its capital ecosystem by adding innovation grants, regional investment funds and new funding opportunities for entrepreneurs worldwide.
NEW YORK, NY – MoonshotNX, the global innovation and investment platform operating across more than 140 countries, today announced the expansion of its founder funding ecosystem through a strategic partnership with the Million Ideas Movement and the Million Ideas Innovation Fund, providing entrepreneurs with new opportunities to access innovation grants, venture investment and institutional growth capital.

The partnership significantly expands the funding pathways available to founders participating in the MoonshotNX ecosystem by integrating the Million Ideas Innovation Fund's regional investment programmes alongside MoonshotNX's existing investment readiness, fundraising and investor engagement platform.

For more than five years, MoonshotNX has supported entrepreneurs through structured investment readiness assessments, fundraising strategy and investor engagement, helping founders better prepare for capital raising while connecting them with one of the world's largest curated private investment communities of more than 76,000 active investors.
Having evaluated more than 12,000 startups and growth companies across every major industry, MoonshotNX has become recognised for helping founders bridge the gap between innovation and investment through technology-driven venture analysis and evidence-based investment assessment.

The new partnership extends that journey even further.
Founders participating in the MoonshotNX platform may now become eligible for non-dilutive innovation grants of up to US$10,000, followed by access to regional pre-seed and seed investment opportunities through the Million Ideas Innovation Fund.
The Fund operates five regional investment funds covering the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Middle East & North Africa and Asia, representing a combined US$250 million in committed capital dedicated to supporting high-growth entrepreneurs building globally scalable businesses.

Beyond early-stage funding, companies demonstrating exceptional commercial traction may also be considered for follow-on investment through MAXF1, MoonshotNX's Cayman Islands-based investment fund focused on Series A and later-stage companies seeking international expansion.
The partnership creates one of the most comprehensive founder pathways available within a single innovation ecosystem, enabling entrepreneurs to progress from investment readiness to grants, venture investment, institutional capital and long-term strategic growth support.
Unlike traditional startup programmes that focus on only one stage of fundraising, MoonshotNX is building an integrated capital ecosystem where founders can access investment readiness support, AI-powered venture assessment, investor introductions, fundraising advisory, venture debt, grant funding, venture capital and institutional investment through connected global partnerships.
The Million Ideas Movement brings a complementary global community to the partnership.
Operating in more than 190 countries, the Movement has attracted more than 28,000 ideas from entrepreneurs, innovators and changemakers while promoting the belief that every idea deserves the opportunity to exist. Through the Million Ideas Innovation Fund, that vision is now supported by tangible funding programmes designed to help promising ideas become successful businesses.
"Founders don't simply need more investors—they need better pathways to capital," said Jill Godden, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MoonshotNX.
"This partnership allows us to extend the support we provide far beyond investment readiness. By integrating innovation grants, regional investment funds and institutional capital into our ecosystem, we are creating a more complete journey that helps entrepreneurs move from idea to investment with greater confidence and significantly more opportunities."
Daniel Tan, Managing Partner of the Million Ideas Innovation Fund, said the partnership enables both organisations to accelerate innovation globally.
"Million Ideas was created to ensure great ideas never fail simply because founders cannot access funding or support. Partnering with MoonshotNX gives entrepreneurs access to an established global investment readiness platform while creating stronger investment pipelines for our regional funds."
The partnership will initially support founders building companies across artificial intelligence, climate technology, healthcare, fintech, education, advanced manufacturing, energy, agriculture and social innovation while continuing to expand support for governments, universities, accelerators, corporations and innovation ecosystems seeking better ways to identify and fund high-potential ventures.
As global demand for innovation continues to grow, MoonshotNX remains focused on building one of the world's most connected innovation and capital ecosystems—bringing together founders, investors, grant programmes, venture funds and strategic partners to simplify access to funding and accelerate entrepreneurial success worldwide.
