infoAbout this deal

Contrary is a venture capital firm that backs the strongest technical founders coming out of top universities. They invest at the earliest stages — from pre-seed through Series A — and have a unique network of Venture Partners (student scouts) across 100+ universities in the US and Canada.

Contrary also runs a Research Fellowship for students to analyze tech markets and publishes research on emerging technology sectors. Student founders can apply for funding directly, while students interested in VC can apply to become Venture Partners.

Their portfolio includes companies like Anduril, Ramp, and Zepto, many of which were founded by students or recent graduates.
