The robot pet would be perfect for my elderly father. He has real dog and it’s great but he has a Har time caring for it. Plus traveling with it presents it’s own challenges.

Every year there are robots. The press hypes them. Most never get released and those that do, flop (largely because they are too expensive or are near useless, or both). This cycle repeats itself every. single. year.

These are all Asian-crap likable’s, they are so far removed from actual nature that they make up robot pets and servants instead of just getting back to nature and REAL LIFE.

The medicine robot is good but a real nurse is better. As an elderly soon, I’ll prefer human so that I can talk to with.

Robots will definitely make our life lonelier by the day

Robots can never replace pets. Period.
However smart they get they cannot be real intuitive as real pets, most of the commands/tasks they will do is really repeating themselves that you’ll know in a week and get bored off in a month or so. .

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
