  @Nigel Uno Felt a bit like a undisclosed paid ad for the product … 200$ is a big amount to figure out for yourself how it compares vs the market

Are they better then AirPods Pro? Coming from a dude who bought and hate Airpods Pro now because they dont even fit in the ear, even after trying on all there ear tips. And yet every other brand earbuds fit my ear perfectly. ✌️

  Do you realize there are after market ear tips? Spinfit is the best for comfort because of their patented design.

  @Brobi V2 How can your opinion be valid if you have not experienced both products? Anyone can say something is better or worse. You can not tell the quality of a product just by looking at it or reading about it.

The $150 price is what I see online. No idea how they perform. If I am spending the money I might as well buy the Sony or Apple buds.

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
