About

Unusual Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2018, headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The firm specializes in leading pre-seed to Series A investments in software startups, focusing on enterprise software, marketplaces, and fintech sectors. Unusual Ventures is committed to providing hands-on support to founders, offering resources such as the Unusual Academy—a six-week program investing between $250,000 and $1 million in exchange for convertible notes that convert into equity during subsequent financing rounds—and the Get Ahead Platform, which assists founders in navigating critical seed-stage challenges like recruiting, product development, and customer acquisition.

The firm has raised over $1 billion in assets under management, with its third fund totaling $485 million, and has invested in notable companies like Arctic Wolf Networks, Carta, Robinhood, Harness, and Vivun.
