Since its founding in 2014, Unshackled has proven its thesis that investing and supporting this population drives strong investment returns across key industries, including American infrastructure, generative AI, healthcare, space, and enterprise SaaS. To date, the firm has invested in 80 companies and over 200 entrepreneurs.
Unshackled Ventures Values:
Truth + Transparency = Trust
Truth combined with transparency results in trust. These components are foundational for building lasting relationships and creating an environment where everyone can thrive. With truth and transparency, we establish deep trust fast.
Pursuing Change with Purpose
Our entrepreneurial spirit is always guided by purpose. We respect the courage to take intentional risks to make something wonderful. We honor the human journey that encompasses curiosity, initiative, and grit.
Velocity is Essential
Time is of value, so advancing together with speed and alignment is crucial. In this process, we are mindful of energy and stamina while meeting the requirements of the organization. We prioritize recovery because it marks the beginning of the next sprint.
Beyond Professional
We treat people with compassion, recognizing their inherent dignity. We demand the highest levels of performance from ourselves and our team, guided by empathy and a commitment to supporting the well-being and growth of those we connect with.
We Love to Play, Compete, and Win
The journey of improvement and impact is exhilarating; competition in the spirit of play fosters this for us. We understand that if we live our values and focus on what is right rather than who is right, we will win more often. And we love to win!
