We look to become a vital ecosystem partner for the technological visionary and unleash the power of data together to pioneer a modern, technology-driven society through increased democratisation and augmentation for all. Thesis The evolution of the internet over the times has certainly made our lives easier. However, it is not a perfect world - many inefficiencies still exist despite a continuously-involving user demand. Technological entrepreneurs are here to change the world for the better by eliminating difficulties using their creativity and drive. TRTL Ventures is here to assist these visionary entrepreneurs to realise their vision right from the beginning. We guide them in surfacing user demand to help them develop their best products to reach their full business potential. Investment belief As internet businesses onboard more users by providing unprecedented convenience and accessibility to information, user demands have become more visible in the form of data. In the new business paradigm, it is not merely about convenience, but about augmenting lives too. Unlocking this data through deeper technologies such as AI, blockchain, robotics, quantum computing, biotechnology and more is the key to doing so. TRTL Ventures backs early-stage startups that are building a dominant virtual platform with a solid data acquisition strategy in place, such that they are in the best position to solve problems through DeepTech solutions. Geographical focus India represents the perfect setting for technology to bloom upon her rich and diverse data pool. The importance of data-oriented tactics in a startups’ growth strategy has been more and more critical, particularly in DeepTech development. We highly expect India to leverage her own demographic and deep talent resources of ambitious entrepreneurs, managers and engineers to build a unique DeepTech-based economy to become one of the world’s leading tech-oriented markets. TRTL Ventures aims to nurture the seeds of the Indian story and contribute to the global scaling of these promising startups. Ecosystem for success Throughout the next few decades, TRTL Ventures is looking to build an unique ecosystem connecting all stakeholders, including founders, employees, investors, business partners and end-users, to elevate the tech landscape towards its next step. We are introducing our debut fund to invest in the seeds of the next big innovations to build the foundations of the next economy.

We facilitate the growth of emerging companies by providing not only financial investment but also strategic guidance driving ideas to real businesses.

We support entrepreneurs across Southeast Asia, and selectively India. What we believeTALENT: Successful entrepreneurs are rare and possess a unique combination… The vision, grit and passion of a true entrepreneur combined with the analytics and problem-solving skills, discipline, ethics and teamwork required of a professional in a top-tier institution creates the right capability to rapidly execute a long-term viable business model with strong economic performance. TECHNOLOGY: Technology, wisely used, is transformative… Technology is ubiquitous today, disruption is not. All businesses need to harness technology efficiently & effectively. The insight lies in the ability to visualize when, where, and how technology can engineer a distinctive and sustainable leader in a different future. TRACTION: Brilliant sparks need sustained oxygen to create a firestorm... Success of an early stage start-up is largely measured by achieving successful future financing. Traction and trajectory are critical; a well-defined yet flexible roadmap with milestones and measurement are often ignored by many start-ups … as is knowing when and how to pivot in a timely manner. Vison without action is hallucination… How we workTOGETHER: A true partnership creates real synergies… We strive to be true partners of aspirational founders with exceptional visions. A true partnership harnesses different skill sets and assets and works together for one goal. We believe we are in the journey together and thus support our founders in all facets of their business building program. TRUSTING: Mutual trust and respect is a cornerstone… We recognize that trust is not elusive soft fluff; it is created and earned and becomes a leverageable asset, especially when founders are in uncharted territories and in times of turbulence. We aim to create trust-based partnerships with our founders with open and truthful communication that can make a difference towards a business’s success. Start-ups may have to pivot their strategies or markets during the early stages. Discussions can be difficult and controversial, but trust makes them constructive and fruitful. TENACIOUS: Moving forward, constantly evolving, continuously improving, goes a long way…Resilience, the agility to pivot, the ability to survive a storm – all success stories go through challenges first. True grit and executing the conviction of a vision are often the key to holding it all together. We believe in our entrepreneurs, and we do what it takes to support them to constantly move forward.

As a venture house, our mission is to clear the path for founders who build companies that matter.

Rather we rethink existing ways and models to maximise our impact beyond any individual firm or investment. Together, we can punch above our weight.
