🇺🇸For the first time in American history, young Americans are doing worse financially than their parents did at the same age. Wages are stagnant while the costs of housing, healthcare, and education keep climbing. The result is that the basics of modern life - homeownership, education and healthcare - are becoming luxuries. Affordability is the quiet crisis reshaping the American dream.

And affordability isn’t just a household problem - it’s systemic. Energy grids delayed by permitting, defense programs billions over budget, health networks collapsing under administrative load. When systems themselves become too costly to operate, upgrade, or defend, those costs flow downstream to families, communities, and the economy.

At @MoxxieVentures, we see both urgency and opportunity. We’re backing companies that use AI, automation, advanced manufacturing, and modern infrastructure to make life - and the systems behind it - more affordable. Affordability isn’t just about cutting costs - it’s about unlocking access, expanding choices, and building resilience across society.

We’ve backed companies like:

@zownhomes and @get_ridley in real estate, lowering transaction costs, creating new financing pathways, and unlocking underutilized supply.

@augusthealth in senior care, giving operators modern software to deliver safer, more efficient care while bending the cost curve.

@dreambound in workforce training, making certifications for high-demand roles accessible and affordable, unlocking mobility without traditional debt.

@LumenEnergy in energy and climate, helping businesses cut costs and carbon by using AI to unlock and finance clean energy for their buildings.

The throughline is clear: AI and modern infrastructure make once expensive services scalable. Where traditional systems rely on bottlenecks - administrators, brokers, claims processors - AI can automate and augment. Where costs are inflated by opaque processes, technology can introduce transparency, efficiency, and resilience.

We believe the winners of the next decade will be the companies that redesign essential, burdensome categories around affordability - whether for households or for the systems that sustain them. These startups will not only capture massive markets but also deliver lasting social impact.

If you’re a founder building solutions to these challenges, we’d love to hear from you. 🙏

10/ There's a shortage of truck drivers, nurses, and electricians in the US -- in part because finding a training program is difficult and expensive. @athenakan_ is building @dreambound, a marketplace for people to find training programs and sponsors
