Manan Mehta co-founded Unshackled Ventures specifically to solve U.S. immigration barriers for founders, building an infrastructure-heavy model that provides legal, visa, and employment support so immigrant entrepreneurs can legally start companies from day zero. As a former founder-CEO whose social media company was acquired by Smule, he focuses on backing founders pre-incorporation based on their execution history and personal connection to problems rather than traditional traction metrics.
