Our Work

Research

We believe that we need to accumulate good data, conduct intelligent research and turn this into insightful information upon which we can build interesting and/or compelling future solutions.

Activities: We conduct both general research about the older adult community and specific customized information either in particular categories (such as Consumer, Mobility, Social or Healthcare needs) or according to specific needs from a client or startup enterprise. This may be about a demographic category (Hispanic females aged 70-80 for example) and/or about a series of psychographic categories (Single men who regularly attend senior centers for example).

Publishing

We write articles, white papers and reports on the 50+ sector, focused wholly on its unmet needs and opportunities for innovation and technology to make life better.

Activities: As issues, challenges, opportunities, pains and gains in the 50+ adult community are uncovered our regular publishing aims are to promote the unmet needs as widely as possible to ideators and entrepreneurs and other organizations that can work in partnership to start to come up with new thinking and possible solutions. In addition, publications help to stimulate further debate and discussion and perhaps lead to more funding and resources to tackle identified issues.

Entrepreneurship

Based in Coachella valley, we provide both a physical and virtual environment for ideators and entrepreneurs to learn, co-work, collaborate and grow with highly focused mentoring.

Activities: We provide both co-working and incubation space at our Coachella Valley physical location as well as the technology to allow for virtual participation of start up and early stage companies looking to target problems and opportunities in the 50+ adult space. We provide many support services to these startups as well as focused and experienced weekly mentoring. We also run a global startup search for aging focused startups and innovators every year.

Access to Capital

Access to capital is a challenge for everyone trying to take a new path or approach or launch a startup and we aim to connect entrepreneurs with funding sources.

Activities: Silver Moonshots staff already have good connections with high net worth individuals, angel groups, venture capital firms, funds and other resources that are already interested in the 50+ space and are willing to make seed and later stage investments. We help worthy startups to connect with these investors to both discuss their potential solutions (and gain valuable feedback) as well as get the best possible chance of gaining funding.
