    Nice Video. I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it.

      i agree, no doubt NICK DRANCHAK has really made a good name for himself. His reviews are so exceptional, he’s really a Pro. I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again

      @Jane Foster there’s a lot of money to be made in crypto. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I’m looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up. Please do you mind sharing any means of reaching out to him easily? I’m really interested

      My portfolio is very much diversified. I did it using copy trading system from a US regulated broker ” Adviser NICK DRANCHAK ” it’s been a huge relief. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part. His stock picks are outstanding. I can tell you he’s quite the genius in trading and portfolio diversification.

    Her message on faith & the importance of life was well put. Her message on being grounded in reality & mediating is good as well. It doesnt mean that we throw out everything to chase 1 persons dream. It may only be true that a sliver of their dream is practical when considering everyone elses dreams.

    Like all good TED Talks, this gave me pause and several things to think about. Will have to watch a few more times.

    Some initial thoughts: I have faced the conundrum of feeling the temptation to “ape” traditional demonstrations of authority and leadership in order to be persuasive and effective. As a member of the “traditional power holder” gender and race, the temptation is always there. But that is not the leader I wanted to be.

    There are elements of that traditional leadership model that I aspire to (protect your team and be the one that suffers the most when things are hard) but there are also elements that are missing from that traditional model that I think should be there. And they are part of the type of leader I try to be, such as having a nurturing spirit.

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
