OUR FOUNDERS FEEDBACK

Jonas Helmikstøl
Co-Founder & CEO@Starflow
They saw what we saw — not just a product, but a chance to rewrite the story of home energy. That kind of alignment is rare. We didn’t just gain investors; we found true partners.

Contrarian brings a significant footprint in the CleanTech Industry in combination with highly experienced founders and team members. The openness, support, and respect for each other make them an outstanding partner.
David Trainavicius
Co-Founder & CEO @ PVcase
Our continued partnership with Contrarian Ventures has been crucial to PVcase’s sustained success.

It’s a breath of fresh air to work with like-minded investors that are as dedicated to fighting climate change as we are.

With their deep expertise and strong network in the energy space, we’ve found a partner who thinks outside the box and will help us reshape the EV charging ecosystem together.
