TRINE
VC Fund
Gothenburg, Sweden
TRINE is a VC fund in Gothenburg focused on Solar and Energy. TRINE uses crowdinvesting to enable people to support solar energy projects, while also delivering a return to the investors. We provide the expertise, organization and the platform for enabling secure investments in carefully selected projects and bring finance to local solar entrepreneurs in emerging nations to electrify the world. Ourcrowdinvestors will fund the initial cost for installing the solar system, over time this loan is paid back with interest by the value of electricity produced from the solar system. With our solution we will connect money sitting in banks, with solar entrepreneurs like yourself in need of financing. By doing so, we will not only enable people to earn a return on an impact investment and democratize those investment options, but also help you to elevate poor communities out of their energy poverty and improve their living standard.
