Contrarian Thinking Capital
I’m the General Partner at Contrarian Thinking Capital. We’re an early stage venture capital fund focused on the future of small and medium-sized businesses. I’d say we’re healthily obsessed with bridging boring businesses and technology to empower Main Street America.
Investment Thesis
Contrarian Thinking Capital primarily invests in the overlap of these four trends:
Small business acquisitions boom.
Infrastructure tech for small businesses is desperately needed.
30 million small businesses to capitalize on.
Service will increasingly happen online.
