      @marshow did you just make a distinction in gender and criticize that in the same breath? Astounding!

    • Ace

      February 7, 2023 at 7:17 am

      @mars kinda understand what your saying but also wtf you literally contradicted yourself

    • Ace

      February 7, 2023 at 7:21 am

      @mars also cis men ain’t just the problem like you said people are every group and minority have certain toxic views that disturb the nature of conversation we should be trying to understand and equalize our community’s in certain ways but also allow our selfs to be individuals and a part of the collective simultaneously which is hard for us to grasp

    Am I the only one thinking of Charlize Thereon in Arrested Development? It might take me a while to notice Autism (or anything else) in this speaker (Emmy Peach). Anyway, she makes a good point (…I think).

      Not just that but only tested on autistic males, not females.

    If you see that you’re odd, and then change your actions, you just did what anyone else would do to fit into society. You’re not different. You’re very much the same as others. There are no differences to be “celebrated”. It’s the people that change society, to fit in, that are different. It’s questionable whether or not those differences should be “celebrated”.

    I don’t know if I have autism or not.. I’m F18 and that feels too late for even considering if I have it. I have problems with communication and maintaining relationships, and other symptoms which sync with autism but at the same time I feel like it’s just me over analysing myself lol.

    You are so right! Use the special ability as an advantage! It took me 44 years to learn why I seemed so alien to others. Autistic traits. I was just quiet, taking in all the beauty of the world and connecting lines between all the dots in the world – my whole life. Eventually all those dots and lines turn into shapes and time and distant places… and THAT paints a beautiful 5-D picture of the world and universe we live in… the innocent world inside will always be more beautiful than the outside. Once we can own our spectral differences. We can master them and use the whole of our natural abilities for bigger purposes than ourselves. Thank you for your courage to put yourself out there in the world! Keep looking within and teaching outwardly!

    Also the reason it is hard is because when autism was discovered, they only tested it with men back then, so it is a little more harder now to understand it in women because little research was done with them.

    Is there a test for this disorder

  22. joni jokunen

    February 8, 2023 at 1:42 pm

    To call autism a disorder is akin to calling a penguin disabled because it can’t fly. Nah, we ain’t disabled or have a disorder, we just do better in a different environment than others

    What?? How is pretending a woman’s issue?? Damn kid, careful what Karen-mom teaches you, kk?

  24. J H

    February 8, 2023 at 7:48 pm

    I mean, I’m a male and I did the same thing… always knew I was a bit different mainly due to negative reactions of me… So I changed to get better reactions… and it’s OK too, but I won’t hide myself when I just want to randomly stare at a tree or be random in other ways

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.

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 chance to prove themselves.

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
