About
Unorthodox Ventures is an American-based institutional investor focused on partnering with innovative, driven founders. If you’re seeking to change modern medicine or upend the industrial status quo, we like you already, and we’re ready to help with more than a check. Led by contrarian entrepreneur and Big Ass Fans Founder Carey Smith, we set ourselves apart from traditional VCs by being operators at our core. Our team includes experts in everything from engineering, product development and supply chain to marketing, hiring and sales. We provide far more than money to the companies in which we invest. At every stage, we fill the gaps that constrain so many entrepreneurial ventures, helping them scale, pivot and profit.
