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.
