Talmon Marco
Co-Founder & CEO @ H2Pro
H2Pro has raised over $100MM from some of the best investors around. But back in 2019, when we were looking for our seed financing, no one would talk to us. No one, except the Contrarian team. They took the time to study what we were doing and were the first VC to say “Yes”. It was $250K, which at the time meant the world to us. Since then, they always helped with a call, with a link, with insight and most important, with being good, supportive investors that understood the needs of the company – and not just their needs as investors. We love you.
David Trainavicius
Co-Founder & CEO @ PVcase
Our continued partnership with Contrarian Ventures has been crucial to PVcase’s sustained success. Their experience in scaling climate tech startups made them the ideal firm to work with in our early stages and Series A. It’s a breath of fresh air to work with like-minded investors that are as dedicated to fighting climate change as we are.
Tommy Rickets
Co-Founder & CEO @ BeZero Carbon
Contrarian are great to work with. We share the same ambition of scaling climate solutions to accelerate Net Zero transition. They helped us sharpen our thinking about our product, and the wider market, as well as supporting us through events and expertise. We’re very happy with the work we’ve done together.
Mina Nada
Co-Founder & CEO @ Zoomo
Working with the Contrarian Ventures team has been incredible. Their mission to solve the net zero challenge through technology aligned with our values and they have been instrumental in our growth – from seed to series B.
Adam Fudakowski
Founder & Exec Chair @ Switchee
Contrarian have always been my go to investor for support and advice on fundraising and growth. They really know their stuff and have always provided the best quality guidance and advice around.
Simon Daniel
Founder @ Moixa
Contrarian has an excellent energy technology network, always provided great advice, and was able to advise and assist on access to the wider investment community. I also see them as a great conduit to other European early stage ventures for partnership or investment opportunities.
Andreas Slettvoll
CEO @ CHOOOSE
The Contrarian team have added real value from day 1. They are extremely responsive and always have great insights and advice. In addition, they are really helpful in both accelerating and maturing, in terms of actionable advice, capital round readiness, and challenging status quo. +++
Thibault Castagne
Co-Founder & CEO @ Vianova
Since the seed round, Contrarian Ventures has been instrumental in setting us up with the right connections for Vianova. A patient, active and mission-driven investor that all founders should seek.
