Until VR headsets are the size of 1980’s era Oakley’s and haptic gloves are like neoprene gloves, I’m not interested. I love my wireless Quest with Virtual Desktop, but the tech is still firmly rooted in the clunky era size-wise.

  Give it another 30-50 years …emmm maybe next life, everything will be as small as generic glasses and gloves. Give it another century or two, full dive technology without any attached peripherals could be available

  I mean eventually it probably will vr head sets have already shrunk a lot. These haptic gloves won’t be affordable or practical for the regular consumer market for a while. Maybe 10 more years and they will be good and cheap enough for the average consumer but they are not all that needed regular vr is already pretty incredible imo.

Looking forward to the day that a vr company manages to sort out the disembodied hands floating in the air problem. It’s a ubiquitous issue that completely breaks immersion imo.

  I mean even some games on the Meta Quest show your whole arm not just your hands, so it really depends on the game developer.

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
