I have friends who moved north and applied for their entrepreneurship visa. The whole program is a pay for play scam where local VCs and incubators either demand money up front to "join" their incubator or give ridiculous equity terms in the hope of cornering a desperate founder who won't or can't immigrate easily to the states. The whole thing is a money making grift designed to enrich the friends of their politicians.

You are going to find very few if any brand name VCs participating in their dog and pony show.
