McNamara Family Investments — first-check backers of deep-tech moonshots.
Toronto-based, self-funded angel fund investing $250K from angel through seed in scientists and engineers building nuclear, biotech, space, materials, and climate tech that doesn't exist yet. One meeting, decision in days.
40+ portfolio companies, including Aalo, Varda, and ProteinQure.
Amazing work!
Thanks again Bella!
A family fund writing first checks into nuclear and biotech needs to look patient rather than hungry, and trees do that in a way an abstract M never would - growth measured in decades suits the thesis. The exploration sheet shows the mark pushed a dozen ways; did the client...
we didn't have to argue too much to be honest. the client was drawn to it from the beginning. Our focus on this mark was a community developing over time. much like how any major scientific discovery is realised. Thank you for the comment. it's my favourite thus far on Contra.
thanks man

Modular emblems always sit on a trade-off: the more parts you hand the system, the less any single mark has to carry alone. This one leans into that — the pattern tile is doing as much identity work as the logo, which is usually the sign the system will hold once it's out in the wild.
Highrise Buildco is a modern H-letter construction company logo featuring a bold geometric symbol inspired by architectural structures and high-rise buildings. The circular mark combines strong vertical forms with angular negative space to create a distinctive H lettermark, representing stability, structure, strength, and forward development.
The clean geometric design and orange-and-navy color combination create a professional and confident appearance, making it suitable for construction companies, builders, property developers, architecture firms, engineering services, and real estate businesses.
Amazing
