Every Company Has a Story
Every company represents a story. While Contrary has traditionally focused on people leading up to company formation and through the early life of a young startup, the technology and markets also tell stories fundamental to each iconic business.
In this spirit, we've launched a new initiative to better understand and communicate the bigger picture of every private company: Contrary Research.
What is Contrary Research?
Contrary Research is the central hub for thoughtful analysis of the world's fastest-growing technology companies. We do the hard work of bringing disparate insights together in a clear and concise way to help you better understand companies that are otherwise hard to dig into.
We touch on all types of technology companies, because their stories so often weave together: public, private, early and late stage, hardware, software, and everything in between. But as our content base develops, private technology companies will continue to be the focus.
So whether you're a founder, investor, operator, journalist, limited partner, or just a tech fan, Contrary Research is your home for understanding any private technology company.
