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.
