Overview

Unpopular Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2019 by Peter Livingston. The firm specializes in investing in early-stage (pre-seed and seed) technology companies that are considered unconventional, non-consensus, or overlooked by mainstream investors. It operates globally with a remote-first approach, seeking to back exceptional founders in new markets, underestimated verticals, or those tackling challenges with daunting odds. The firm operates through both a syndicate on AngelList, started in 2019, and a rolling fund launched in 2021.
