Why Us?
Founded by founders and engineers in 2021, Moonshot Factory builds the “South Park Commons” for Gen-Z engineers: empowering them to experiment faster, learn together, and blitz scale into the next big thing. Since inception, Moonshot has been supported by Bytedance, ZhenFund, Shimo Docs; additionally, 16 of its member companies were funded by top investors such as GGV Capital, YC China, etc.

We have more than 5,000 active members, hailing from top universities and companies from US and China.

What can we bring to Harmony?
Moonshot has a proven track record of attracting top tier engineers to start meaningful projects. In the past, many of our participants hail from top universities and institutions such as Tsinghua, Google, and Baidu, with academic backgrounds ranging from undergraduate to Doctoral candidates. Moonshot also has extensive partnerships with China’s top tier investors and media, which can help raise awareness of Harmony’s capabilities to Chinese developer communities. For instance, we closely partner with Sunny Gao, the Founder and CEO of China’s #1 venture-backed Developer Community, SegmentFault. Through Moonshot’s network of talented and innovative young builders and various resources to empower their ideas, we believe our Hackathon will bring fresh projects and awareness to the Harmony Ecosystem.
