Unshackled Ventures started in 2014 to help immigrant founders succeed faster. Unshackled gives immigrant entrepreneurs the opportunity to innovate and tackle some of the US’s biggest problems by providing access to capital, a unique network of co-investors, and full immigration support including visa sponsorship and employment. The fund invests in first-time entrepreneurs at the earliest stages and is sector agnostic.
