  Leaders of Palestine (Hamas) would LOVE a second holocaust. How dare you comment this on a holocaust survivors’ video. That is sick.

I grew up listening to the stories of their survival of the Holocaust. They were the most kind people I have ever met. I enjoyed our time together and they showed me how to listen with kindness. All of us benefited.

the guy should be mentioned in the title – not ted nor shorts. He deserves it more than ted or shorts.

That is the real embarassing part cause ted takes more care for celebrating themselves instead of him, the guy withou a name cause it was more important to repeat ted again and again.

The ego is man’s enemy, vanity, materialism all diminish the kindness & hope we all crave. In these times we can do almost anything (within reason) if your going to be anything!? Be kind it costs you nothing but earns you an abundance of joy.

Pearls of wisdom. Kindness is not weakness which people misunderstand. Holocaust survivors are so strong people! The story a woman whose mother saved her but was left behind. Real struggles.

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…

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
