This is a conversation with Jason Chen. Jason is a Partner at Contrary, an early-stage venture firm thats backs bold founders in their pre-seed and seed rounds and supports them as they scale. In this episode, Jason expands on how Contrary systematically identifies exceptional talent and cultivates relationships with emerging founders through its university Venture Partners program and the Contrary Fellowship. Tune in to hear about Jason's own path into venture, the advice he's giving founders in this turbulent macro environment, strategies for finding alpha in venture, and a few tangents on the Philadelphia Eagles (sorry about the Superbowl, Jason). 

You can find Contrary on Linkedin and Twitter.
