Eryk Frontczak works full-time at InSoil, a carbon farming company he originally sourced for Contrarian Ventures, while still sourcing early-stage climate-tech deals for the fund in Poland, and he speaks publicly about how carbon farming can give Polish farmers a new source of income by improving soil health and drought resilience alongside emissions reduction. Before joining Contrarian, he spent three years at bValue, where he personally sourced over €20 million in closed investments, and he holds an MSc in Financial Mathematics from the University of Aberdeen after starting his career at a digital publishing startup later acquired by a Sony subsidiary.

Notable Investments
Contrarian Ventures began focusing on climate in 2017, before the term "climate tech" was common, and its founders came from investment banking and trading rather than a climate background. The firm centers its investing on infrastructure—believing most future climate capital will flow there—follows a rule of taking on product risk or market risk but not both, saw its first fund returned by a single investment, and ties part of its carried interest to impact performance.
