At the beginning of this year, Contra raised a $14.5 million Series A led by Unusual Ventures, with participation from Cowboy Ventures and Atelier Ventures, recently announced by Li Jin. The platform wants professionals to create profiles that display project-based identities, rather than a LinkedIn-style role-based identity. The objective of Contra is to help self-employed workers to create professional reference networks to find new opportunities.

The company's partnership with TikTok allows it to reach more millennial and Gen Z users and potentially help them find new opportunities. Since the launch of TikTok Jump in June, the social media giant has partnered with many companies like Quizlet, Wikipedia, Buzzfeed, and Jumprope, to allow them to create their own integrations within the app.
