      They will. Every company will. Apple can benefit because they have Siri.

      You bought a keyboard last week do you need another one ?

    • Ok man

      Rather buy this product from Amazons own spinoff brand with same specs of your chosen product

    Translation: Please don’t defect to Azure. Just wait just wait!

      Lol only reason azure even exists is bc they use office 365 as a crutch. Anyone remotely in the cloud field will tell you how much of a joke azure is compared to aws.

    Amazon wants to save money by replacing staff with AI.

    Using AI tools in simulation modeling like business engineering weather patterns warfare behavioral patterns digital modeling in clothes and furniture etc can be very profitable

    He would be less painful to listen to if he’s more concise and direct to the point instead of using too many corporate speak filler words which doesn’t add value and doesn’t directly answer the question.

    Let’s go Amazon

    Seeing as how Amazon is now only joining the scene just tells me that the technology is only really starting. Starting companies like Bluewillow still has a chance to progress and evolve.

    Overrated

    This is concerning. He’s talking about energy, cost, efficiency blah blah blah. He’s talking about what the customer wants from a legacy perspective. What he’s not talking about is the degree of “intelligence”. In other words, he has a very efficient slug vs chatgpt.

    FANG always go together, the race should be more attractive and products will be improved so fast

    • Ok man

      April 15, 2023 at 4:06 pm

      N for what? Netflix

    • Ben Panna

      April 16, 2023 at 5:56 pm

      @Ok man ohh you’re aware of it, Netflix might not in this competition

  14. Ok man

    April 15, 2023 at 4:07 pm

    They are now scared of Ai boosted Azure

  15. Ok man

    Amazon talking about democratization is quite ironic

    6:23 The question is spot-on. Amazon may wish that they had the data side of the AI equation pinned down, but that’s probably not the case. Compute tends to migrate to where the data is, not the other way around. In that sense Google and Microsoft undoubtedly have an edge over Amazon in this AI era.

    • Ben Panna

      April 16, 2023 at 5:57 pm

      not doubt about that, but if Amazon did not take this race, it just simple fall in long term

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
