I’d just be happy to see the current platforms and infrastructure not be such a hot mess like they’ve been recently.

Can’t we invest in our existing infrastructure first?

  Our politicians need to stop giving away our stolen tax dollars to other countries and help out our own people first since it’s our money and our infrastructure is antiquated at best.

Ultra-lights, which may include VTOL aircraft don’t require a license, however the prospective pilot must have instruction to fly, must pass a written test about regulations and must pass a flying exam to be certified. It will not be as easy as taking off from your backyard and landing in the parking lot of your favorite what-ever. Consider that only 6% of the US population has a pilot’s license and the reality will smack you in the face!

Most of these are a decade or more away from being approved on any level. The delivery drones are only going to be useful in rural areas, they’d be a disaster in cities.

  No, drone delivery would also be useful in the suburban planning hellscape that much of the US is.

NOTHING is ever going to change unless some genius president will privatize the FAA. bureaucracy wheels don’t turn slow- they’re completely immobile.

anytime you introduce a new technology- a group of millionaires somewhere, loses their golden goose egg…. so they LOBBY. then there’s the fact that the testing & approval process for FAA certification is unnecessarily over priced. that is why you’re NEVER going to get ANYWHERE until you privatize the FAA.

More like f’ing great 100 foot flying saucers then you can arrive before you take off but the ticket could corrupt you cos it would be run by “Air ‘C.I.A,” And if you played up they’d through you out a window.

A couple questions, if we have aerial taxis in places like new york that’s gonna look insane and be insanely dangerous which means some kind of air traffic system will need to be involved, can’t go as high as planes, and even then, a helicopter to work? So you’re gonna have air taxis landing on buildings everywhere? Because they can’t land in the street obviously lol. Lotta things come into play here.

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
