Leesa Soulodre is an entrepreneur, investor, and architect of emerging markets operating at the intersection of capital, technology, and public policy.

She is the Founder and CEO of R3i, an institutional platform that combines proprietary intelligence, venture creation, capital formation, and transaction architecture to identify and build markets emerging from regulatory and technological transformation.

Over the course of her career, Leesa has worked across venture capital, institutional investment, corporate strategy, and innovation ecosystems, advising governments, multinational corporations, institutional investors, and high-growth technology companies. Her work has spanned artificial intelligence, healthcare, climate infrastructure, water intelligence, advanced manufacturing, quantum technologies, and space-related industries.

Her core thesis is that the greatest investment opportunities of the coming decades will not be created by technology alone, but by the convergence of great entrepreneurs, technology, regulation, and national economic priorities. Through R3i, she has built a platform designed to identify these inflection points early, structure investable opportunities around them, and connect frontier innovation with long-term capital.

Leesa has participated in the acceleration, investment, and growth of more than 350 venture-backed companies and has advised over 400 corporations on strategy, innovation, sustainability, and emerging technology adoption. She has served on investment committees, contributed to responsible investment and AI governance initiatives, and helped shape innovation ecosystems across Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America.

Today, her work focuses on building the infrastructure through which sovereign wealth funds, family offices, institutional investors, governments, and strategic partners can access the industries and capabilities that will define the next generation of economic value.

Rather than investing in established markets, Leesa's focus is on identifying and helping create the markets that come next.
