About Kobi Weinberg

Kobi Weinberg's background stands out for combining venture investing with hands-on roles in climate education, media, and community building: he co-designed and teaches climate finance courses at Brown University, serves as Managing Editor of the Climate Tech VC newsletter (read by more than 70,000 subscribers), and co-founded the Chicago Climate Corps to help organize a regional climate community in the Midwest. He also brings a technical edge from his earlier work developing climate risk transfer products at Nephila Climate in London, giving him a mix of insurance expertise, teaching, writing, and organizing that goes well beyond typical deal-sourcing at a venture fund.

Avg Check Size

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.
