Trireme Partners

Trireme Partners LLP was a US limited partnership venture capital company that invested in technology, goods, and services related to Homeland Security. The name "Trireme" was taken from a Greek warship designed with three banks of rowers.

Established by Richard Perle, Gerald Hillman and Christopher Harriman, Trireme Partners was a Delaware entity registered in November 2001.^{[citation needed]} One of the firm's major investors was Boeing, which invested US$20 million.^[1]

Perle became the subject of controversy in 2003 following a New Yorker article that alleged that Perle had offered to influence American foreign policy in Saudi Arabia in exchange for investment in Trireme.^{[citation needed]}

Trireme Partners completed its business and dissolved in 2005.^{[citation needed]}
