Trirec

TRIREC is a Singapore-based venture capital firm that focuses on decarbonization investments, aiming to combat climate change through technology-driven solutions. Founded in 2015 by Melvyn Yeo and Lawrence Wu, the firm has grown into a key player in climate-focused venture capital, with around $150 million in assets under management. TRIREC targets early-stage companies that are leading the way in decarbonization across five core sectors: food and agriculture, mobility, buildings, industries, and energy. The firm's investment strategy is focused on supporting breakthrough technologies that either reduce, prevent, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions. They have backed over 20 companies globally, including notable startups like Aether Diamonds (which creates diamonds from carbon in the air), Green Li-ion (pioneering battery rejuvenation), and Xpansiv (a global exchange for ESG commodities). TRIREC primarily invests in Pre-Series A to Series B rounds and tends to take a minority stake in their portfolio companies, fostering long-term partnerships. They emphasize both financial returns and positive environmental impact, positioning themselves as leaders in the rapidly expanding decarbonization sector​.
