Founding Partner, Unshackled Ventures

About

Nitin Pachisia grew up in a one-room home in India and took over his family's financial responsibilities as a teenager after a tragedy, which he credits with shaping his work ethic and drive to use entrepreneurship as a path forward. As someone who built his first startup while holding a full-time job to maintain his visa status, he now invests in immigrant founders across all sectors at the pre-seed stage, focusing on traits like obsession and velocity rather than specific industries, and aims to influence U.S. immigration policy for entrepreneurs through his track record.
