Raise Funds
Traditional venture capital firms have been hesitant to invest in remote and foreign founders — however the landscape has significantly changed with notable emerging firms interested in founders with non-traditional backgrounds and business models.
We invest in companies founded and co-founded by immigrants. Everyone on our investment team is an immigrant, so we understand the challenges of founding and scaling a company through this lense. We offer visa/legal support and references, as well as access to a network of mission-aligned industry experts and executives, many of whom are immigrants themselves.
We've started companies as immigrants—we get it. Our own journeys inspired us to create Unshackled Ventures, so that we could remove the bottlenecks of immigration and amplify your superpowers. We lead investments and provide the 'friends and family' capital immigrant teams often don't have.
The future of global work will happen. And if we can, we'd like to help to make it happen sooner. We're a group of remote founders, operators and early investors investing in the next generation of remote work. We invest in companies in the USA and globally including Africa, Latin America, Asia and the rest of the world.
Earnest Capital provides early-stage funding, resources and a network of experienced advisors to founders building sustainable profitable businesses. We invest via a Shared Earnings Agreement, a new investment model developed transparently with the founder community.
TinySeed is an accelerator, but it’s remote, runs for a full year, focuses on SaaS, and “non-unicorns” (companies that don’t aspire to grow at all costs to reach a $1B valuation). To venture capitalists, a company doing $10m in annual revenue is a miss. To us, it’s a great business.
Fundraise From Home is a platform to pitch to a group of early stage investors, but does not guarantee investment. Interested investors follow-up with founders after they pitch with next steps. This program is for early-stage companies (pre-seed or seed stage), ideally started within the last year.
