## About Smith Ventures

Smith Ventures was founded by an entrepreneurial family that knows firsthand what it takes to build thriving businesses. The firm invests with that same builder's mindset—delivering exceptional experiences for its customers and partners, offering meaningful growth opportunities for its employees, and creating enduring value for future generations.

Drawing on its journey as operators, the team combines deep expertise and a trusted network to identify standout opportunities that fuel its entrepreneurial drive and long-term vision.

Founded in 2017 and based in Birmingham, Alabama, Smith Ventures operates as a single-family office focused on supporting businesses for the long term, rather than functioning as a traditional venture capital fund with external limited partners.

Its portfolio spans financial services, business and productivity software, drug discovery, and life sciences, including investments in Icertis, Rational Vaccines, and Contraline.
