Our Pitch Us form is open.
Unshackled backs the top 1% of technical immigrant entrepreneurs at Day Zero — pre-product, pre-revenue, sometimes before you've left the job that holds your visa. We write first checks of $150–750K, and for many of our founders we're the friends-and-family round that was never available to them.
No warm intro needed. The form gives every founder the same access, regardless of introduction source.
If you want a sense of how we think before you submit, we wrote about what we look for at day zero: the two archetypes we've seen recur across a decade of pre-seed investing (article in thread).
They're lenses, not filters. See article in the comments.
If you're building something that feels too early, too technical, or too complex for traditional investors, we want to hear from you.
Send us what you're building here: unshackledvc.com
