Contrarian Ventures is a founder-first climate platform backing bold builders before it’s obvious - with conviction, speed, and zero BS. Contrarian Ventures is not just another VC firm. Founded in 2017, long before “climate tech” became fashionable, we operate like a startup and think like long-term investors. We back founders tackling the hardest problems in climate. Our role is simple: be the first cheque in, the most aligned partner at the table, and the platform that helps founders win. We don’t chase consensus or headlines. We build conviction, punch above our weight, and play long-term games with long-term people - founders first, climate always.

We build better alternatives to materials that are critical, but insecure. Using the latest advances in AI models and lab automation, Altrove designs and builds alternatives to materials we need to reach net zero, but for which supply can't meet demand.

We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected, and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car. We’re a tech company, not a traditional bus operator. We've built a platform that coordinates our entire operation – everything from monitoring vehicles and controlling chargers to selling tickets and calculating ETAs. This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive emissions reduction. It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops. We’re still tiny, with two routes and 24 buses. The challenge is to scale this 100x whilst staying lean, increasing efficiency, and delivering an even better product experience. We’ve recently raised equity from some of Europe’s leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who can help take us to the next level.
