Short summary
Moonshot = a lofty goal requiring monumental effort—a giant leap
Long summary
Silicon Valley’s culture can be described as the moonshot mindset. “Moonshot” is a term used to describe a lofty goal requiring monumental effort—in other words, a giant leap (Merriam-Webster, 2022). An example of this is the Human Genome Project, a three-billion-dollar, fifteen-year effort to map the approximately 100,000 human genes. As we can only scratch the surface of this topic here, I’m going to focus on the mindsets of Silicon Valley’s investors and entrepreneurs.
