About us
Unorthodox Ventures is seeking talented people and small businesses interested in growth. The company is the latest business from contrarian entrepreneur Carey Smith, the founder of fan and light maker Big Ass Fans. Unorthodox Ventures partners with founders who demonstrate disruption and discipline. Dreamers who actually do something. Tinkerers who create solutions to real-world problems. Carey has created a company that upends the traditional venture capital model, which focuses only on providing money and has become increasingly parasitic. Unorthodox Ventures offers everything those investment firms lacked when they approached him near daily at Big Ass Fans over the course of two decades. Carey's team consists of experts who help founders become serial entrepreneurs by providing support for everything from engineering and marketing to customer service and logistics.

Unorthodox Ventures (LSI Europe ‘24 Investor) invests in early-stage startups worldwide, often helping overseas companies open their first American offices. Backed by the resources of a VC but driven by a single LP, Unorthodox Ventures makes swift investment decisions with a focus on long-term success. They typically invest in Seed and Series A rounds, with check sizes ranging from $1 million to $5 million, and follow-on investments are common. What sets Unorthodox Ventures apart is their team’s deep expertise in engineering and marketing. They provide portfolio companies with invaluable support in PR, manufacturing, and go-to-market strategies, particularly for pre-revenue startups. Their commitment extends beyond capital. Unorthodox Ventures offers portfolio companies free access to their Austin headquarters, complete with a 30,000-square-foot warehouse for storing trade show booths, products, and sales collateral. For startups opening an American office, Unorthodox Ventures provides space for first employees while a permanent location is secured. Unorthodox Ventures Portfolio includes companies like: • Akura Medical (Murali Srivathsa) • ConKay Medical Systems, Inc. (LSI Alumni - Albert Yuan) • Sonavex (LSI Alumni - David Narrow) • Third Pole Therapeutics (Bill Athenson) • among others We’re excited to welcome Daniel Allen, PhD, Principal at Unorthodox Ventures, to LSI Europe in Sintra, Portugal this September.
