    I’ve been waiting for ar to get good, and this looks like a fair start in the gaming department. When ar-glasses get commercialized people will play fps games in the street. (People may have to walk miles to do missions)????

    Hot weels if your guys are listening, you guys can use colour e ink technology on these cars to make them actually change colour in the real model

      I think the actual RC car is painted out and replaced by an in-game 3D model

      Sure, if you want it to cost like $1000 maybe

    This is what Mario Kart Live should have been. Extended range, more power in the car so it can go up inclines and the camera looks like it has higher resolution. Now I have to get this too…darn.

    One of those toys that sounds cool but you only play w/ it once or twice. Not for $130

    I bought the Switch one but never actually took it out of the box. Great concept, but never had the floor space!

    Does it include ramps, flags, other style qr check shots?
    Does the controller buttons add sound effects or visual effects (explosions, dragons, water cannons, rocket league soccer ?

    This reminds me those GoPro videos from toy train tracks. If future versions come with MATTER integration, these will create endless opportunities.

    Just like the Mario Kart Live, the turning with the stick is very stiff. Pass

    Mean while, I have the Hot Wheelz Stunt Track Driver CD-Rom literally sitting my my desk. Curious how much fuss Windows 10 or 11 will give me if I try to install and run it.

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
