Principle Series: Family Office Insights sits down with two West Point graduates—Craig Cummings, Co-Founder & General Partner, and Kelly Perdew, Co-Founder & Managing General Partner, of Moonshots Capital to discuss their early stage venture capital fund that invests in exceptional entrepreneurs with world-changing ideas that frequently, though not exclusively, invest in companies founded by top talent military veteran entrepreneurs.

A: [CRAIG CUMMINGS: CO-FOUNDER & GENERAL PARTNER] Kelly and I are both West Point graduates. I ended up serving in the Army for 17 years, most of that time as an Intelligence Officer with the National Security Agency (NSA). During my service, I deployed to Afghanistan with the Joint Special Operations Command where I earned the Bronze Star. I also completed my Ph.D. in Political Science with a minor in Econometrics from Columbia University and then returned to West Point to serve as an Assistant Professor of Political Science. I left the military to scratch the proverbial entrepreneurial itch. In 2009, I co-founded a company called BTS to design, build, and deploy the first cellular network on to a battlefield.

  • The Arbitration of Celebrity Domain Name Disputes
    1 - 1 - THE ARBITRATION OF CELEBRITY DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES BY THE HONOURABLE NEIL BROWN QC 1 The Problem You would think that celebrities, being what they are, would be keen to register their names as domain names, set up their own websites and use the websites to promote themselves. Some do, but others seem to have been slow off the mark, only to find that someone else has got up earlier and in effect stolen their name, registered it as a domain name and used the domain name to set up an unauthorized website. Of course, it can be worse than that: the domain name is sometimes linked directly to a pornography website or used as a bait to attract internet users who are then switched to a website selling anything form Viagra to Pacific cruises 2. This, of course, can give the celebrity a bad name or even a worse name than he or she had previously. Or he or she could just be made a figure of fun: see for instance the unfortunate events recounted in David Pecker v. Mr. Ferris , WIPO Case No. D2006-1514. Mr. David Pecker, apart from having an interesting surname, is Chairman and CEO of American Media, Inc (AMI) the publisher of several prominent lifestyle magazines. One can readily understand Mr. Pecker’s concern about not only having his name used as domain name without his permission, but more particularly about its being linked to a pornography site and hence linked in the public mind with pornography itself. It actually became worse in Mr.

  • The Go-Giver: a Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea
    THE GO-GIVER ‘Most people just laugh when they hear that the secret to success is giving... Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were’ The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman. Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of ‘go-givers’: a restauranteur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the ‘Connector’, who brought them all together. Pindar’s friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving. Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving – putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives – ultimately leads to unexpected results. Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb ‘Give and you shall receive’. More praise for The Go-Giver: ‘The Five Laws are beautiful in their simplicity, but it is Mann and Burg’s powerful storytelling that elevates them from the simply motivational to the truly inspirational’ Scott Allen, columnist, Fastcompany.com, and co- author, The Virtual Handshake ‘The Go-Giver hits a bull’s-eye on the subject of success in business and life.
