TRTL Ventures

TRTL Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021, headquartered in Singapore with a strong presence in Delhi and ties to Japan. The firm specializes in backing early-stage Indian startups tackling real-world problems through the internet and deep-technology-based innovation, with a particular emphasis on data-driven founders and enterprises that harness the power of information to develop innovative solutions, challenge industry norms and drive transformative change. TRTL is broadly sector-agnostic but its portfolio concentrates in enterprise applications, consumer, fintech, vertical SaaS, education and financial services. It invests at the seed and Series A stages and is willing to lead rounds; for example, it led a $1.5 million round in New Delhi-based enterprise AI knowledge-transfer platform byteEDGE in May 2025. To date TRTL has made around 14 investments over roughly three years, averaging about three new investments per year, with seven in 2024, with the large majority of deals in India and at least one in the United States. Notable portfolio companies include byteEDGE, Les Transformations and Oncare. The firm was founded by Yasuhiro Seo, previously a Partner at Spiral Ventures where he managed the end-to-end investment process for startups across India, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines, and operates with a small, lean team spread across Japan and India. By combining Singapore and Japan ties with on-the-ground presence in Delhi, TRTL Ventures backs data-driven Indian founders building deep-technology and enterprise solutions at the seed and Series A stages.
