R3i Ventures (R3i Capital)

R3i Ventures is the venture arm of R3i Capital, a female-owned venture capital and advisory firm founded in 2021 with its primary headquarters in Singapore and additional presence in Luxembourg and Silicon Valley. The firm focuses on patent-backed artificial intelligence and emerging-technology companies, investing globally across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. R3i is led by Founder and General Partner Leesa Soulodre, alongside Prof. Marianne Winslett, who brings 30-plus years in trustworthy systems, data science, and high-performance computing and served as founding director of the Advanced Digital Sciences Center in Singapore from 2009 to 2013. R3i Future Fund LP is a roughly $50 million deeptech seed-stage vehicle targeting climate and healthcare opportunities via accelerator programs in Singapore, Luxembourg, and Texas. Sector focus spans applied AI, space, security, renewable energy, medtech, watertech, agriculture, advanced manufacturing, robotics, and semiconductors. Across its broader platform, R3i reports $184 million invested into 39 portfolio companies, $156 million returned across 16 exits, and approximately $2.4 billion of capital mobilized alongside $1.1 billion in non-dilutive grant funding. Notable portfolio companies include Quantum Brilliance (room-temperature quantum computing), ViewMind (brain-health diagnostics), and Prosoma (digital therapeutics). Ecosystem partners include Enterprise Singapore, Microsoft, Amazon, and NVIDIA. In April 2024, R3i launched R3i Frontier, a Venture Partner Investment Program designed for seven angel investors and emerging managers building track records in climate-deeptech. This platform extension reflects the firm's broader mission to build the funding infrastructure for frontier technology across underserved regions and asset classes, combining direct investment with ecosystem-development activities that amplify its capital with institutional and government partnerships.
