Episode Notes
In this episode, we sit down with Chris Petkas, General Partner at Contrarian Capital, to dive deep into why "boring businesses" are the real backbone of the economy—and why they're ripe for innovation. We explore how Contrarian Capital is funding the digitization of small businesses, building audience-driven flywheels, and helping portfolio companies go far beyond just raising capital. You'll also hear the story of how Blindspot connected with Contrarian Capital, how a $12 billboard ad in downtown Miami sparked global demand, and why audience and distribution will define the next wave of startup success.
We cover:
- Why small businesses are the largest untapped opportunity in the U.S.
- How audience ownership creates outsized growth for founders
- What startups should really look for in a VC partner beyond the check
- Go-to-market strategies that actually drive long-term results
If you're building, investing, or scaling in 2025 and beyond, this is one you won't want to miss.
