Overview
What they do
Unorthodox Ventures is a complete reinvention of the broken and parasitic investment process. Founded by contrarian entrepreneur Carey Smith who bootstrapped Big Ass Fans to a $500 million sale, the company is seeking to partner with founders who demonstrate disruption and discipline. Unlike most investors, Unorthodox Ventures shuns financiers and instead is filled with people who have actually operated companies and know how to grow them.
