When it can turn into a jet or boat or sub, let me know. Of course, since this is gun killer America, it’d have to be heavily armed up so that I could pretend I’m in a “well-regulated militia,” and then I can do whatever I want!! LOL, my .38 Special has a higher IQ than most gun fanatics…

The Audi activesphere electric concept car looks cool. Reminds me of the Tesla Mercedes Ford Mustang Mach-E (front) Hyundai (back) and the cars from a game called Rocket League all in one. And at 1:24 looks like a capybara (but in car form).

If the best they can give us is CGI and not even a real life car that does at least half of what they’re “concept” showing they shouldn’t release anything. I’m tired of these companies doing that. Like focus on real world solutions and something they can actually make

The transforming part looks promising, it could even start a new category of cars. The AR part feels a bit too impractial… for now.

This is what crossovers will look like. It just makes sense to take inspiration from pickups and combine it with a crossover. Audi has figured it out!

I don’t care for concept cars. The final version will never be as hot as the concept version. Why? Why do car manufacturers do this? What’s the point? The Supra had a badass concept,… then the production version came out… ????

The VC Backing the American Dream with Manan Mehta, Unshackled Ventures

Immigrant founders have built some of the world’s most valuable companies, but many still face barriers that make it harder to get a startup off the ground. Visa restrictions, limited access to friends-and-family capital, shallow networks, and a venture industry built around pattern matching can keep promising founders from getting funded before they have a…

CYBER TECH TV

In this episode of Build Mode () , host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Manan Mehta, co-founder and managing partner of Unshackled Ventures, () to talk about why he believes immigrant founders represent one of venture capital’s biggest overlooked opportunities. Manan breaks down how Unshackled built an investment model designed to help founders navigate immigration barriers, why traditional VC pattern matching causes investors to miss potential outliers, and how his team evaluates founders at day zero—often before they have a product, customers, or traction. He also explains why the structural gaps that make some founders harder to fund may be exactly where investors should be looking for outsized returns.

They get into:

•

The four structural barriers immigrant founders face when starting companies in the U.S.

•

How Unshackled Ventures helps founders navigate visas while building their startups

•

Why VC’s reliance on pattern matching can cause investors to miss outlier founders

•

How Manan evaluates founders before they have a product, customers, or traction

•

The IQ, AQ, EQ, and SQ framework Unshackled uses to evaluate founder potential

•

Why resilience, lived experience, and a founder’s relationship to the problem can matter more than a polished pitch

•

Why structural gaps can create some of the biggest opportunities for investors

•

How founders without traditional networks can find alternative paths to early capital

•

Why founders should understand their personal “why” instead of trying to fit the traditional VC mold
