VC Chaos Exposed: $5K Deep Tech Entry to AI Robotics Boom | FundFocu$
In this explosive FundFocu$ highlight, host Rhonda Klch grills Matthew Chang of Chang Robotics on VC frustrations: Top 50 firms snag 70% funds, sidelining 20M accredited investors in a concentrated mess of 8-10 year lockups and SaaS-era underwriting failing AI robotics, mechanical engineering tech, and deep tech. Chang's fix?
AIM Company: First $5K accredited portal (aimcompany.us) for Main Street bets on manufacturing revival—AI compliance agent streamlines, early exits payout per deal in a 5-year fund. Inspired by his nurse mom's slim accreditation and neighbor enthusiasm, Chang flips the script: Engineer-led scouting for character-driven founders in industrial AI, energy efficiency, and robotics (cr.fund for institutions). No more crypto/Tesla roulette—diversify bonuses/tax refunds into U.S.-made deep tech scaling factories, slashing dilution via project prototyping.
From underwater portfolios to "backstage pass" updates, this rant calls out VC's anti-democratic gatekeeping. Perfect for mechanical engineering tech enthusiasts, deep tech VCs, AI robotics investors.
