About Event

Investing in Immigrant Founders: The Unshackled Ventures Story

Join us to hear from Unshackled Ventures, the only early-stage venture capital fund dedicated to enabling immigrant founders to start companies in the U.S. Since 2014, Unshackled has proven that backing this overlooked population drives exceptional returns across industries like American infrastructure, generative AI, healthcare, space, and enterprise SaaS.

To date, the firm has invested in 100+ companies and partnered with 250+ immigrant entrepreneurs. In this talk, Unshackled will share who they invest in, why this mission matters, and how immigrant founders are shaping the future of innovation.
