Unshackled Ventures focuses on investing in visionary immigrant founders at the pre-seed stage, often as early as "day 0" with just an idea and a team. Their strategy involves providing crucial "friends and family" capital and comprehensive immigration support, including visa sponsorship, to accelerate the success of these entrepreneurs. They are sector-agnostic but seek companies with the potential for venture-scale growth in large market opportunities.
Their most common stage is seed (42% of deals). Average disclosed round size is $9.0M (across 11 rounds with reported amounts).
