Trireme Partners

Trireme Partners

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

Company principals included Richard Perle and Gerald Hillman. Trireme Partners was a Delaware entity registered in November 2001, two months after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. $20 million of investment capital in the firm has been provided by Boeing.

In March 2003, Richard Perle became embroiled in controversy after "The New Yorker" published an article by Seymour Hersh which describes a meeting with Perle, the arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and Saudi businessman Harb Zuhair, in which he allegedly offered to influence American foreign policy in Saudi Arabia in exchange for investment in Trireme. An investigation by the Inspector General of the US Department of Defense found that these allegations were fabrications.

Trireme Partners completed its business and dissolved in 2005.
