Contrary Venture Capital for university-based entrepreneurs

Contrary is a university-focused venture fund that invests in the dozen most promising teams from universities across the country each year. Backed by the founders of Facebook, Tesla, Reddit, and many more, we spend three months each summer building alongside our founders and facilitating access to the world’s best entrepreneurs and investors.

We bias towards action, holding 1:1 office hours and connecting you with people who will move the needle for you and your company. In previous summers, we've had friends like Ryan Hoover (ProductHunt), Leah Busque (TaskRabbit) and Andrew Chen (a16z) do just that.

The program has an exceptional track record, with ~90% of our teams raising follow-on capital, the majority of which come from top-tier funds including Sequoia, Founders Fund, and Kleiner Perkins.

Today, we're opening up applications to join us in San Francisco this summer. If you’re a university-based entrepreneur or recent grad building something for the long-run, we’d love to hear from you.
