Contrarian Investing 101: A Framework for Evaluating Weird & Wacky Ideashttps://twitter.com/pokergirlha/status/1326239729155674113?fbclid=IwAR2sppxep0HhzH9mSSPgPRSwYPMq6QyBmj7ggyYUBBOwJ2bhfsQ0uUOlelM
I recently met a startup with a weird & wacky idea. My initial gut reaction was "there's no way that this would work", but I finally got to conviction to want to write the check.

Give it a read and let me know your thoughts!
