🔍 Here's why we started our Venture Scouts program and how it's going: 👇 ▶ Less than 1% of Venture-Backed companies become unicorns. ▶ Less than 1% of companies become Venture-Backed. That means less than 0.01% of companies are billion-dollar ideas. 👀 At Moonarch, we realized that the more companies that cross our path and which we help... → The greater our odds of meeting one of those mythical teams building a unicorn. 📈 This realization led to only one conclusion... → See & support more startups. 💡 This is what our Venture Scouts program is about. Over the past several weeks, ✅ Scouts have brought in dozens of promising startups ✅ Exposure to uni'-founded companies skyrocketed ✅ New geographies in our pipeline every week Our program’s thesis is simple: → Real Value, Real Opportunities 🛫 For those willing to show up and put in the effort, our scout's program is your gateway, so open the door.
