Vietnam's Stride Raises $15 Million to Expand Rooftop Solar Access for Homes and Businesses

Vietnam based startup Stride has closed a fifteen million dollar Series B funding round to grow its clean energy financing platform.

Lightrock and TRIREC led the round through the Accelerate7 platform while Clime Capital and UOB Venture Management joined as existing backers.

Funding Fuels Expansion of Affordable Solar Solutions

The fresh capital will help Stride scale operations across Vietnam and nearby markets while improving its digital tools and quality checks.

Stride offers payment plans and insurance to make rooftop solar and battery systems easier for households and small businesses to install.

Early investor Touchstone Partners is taking a partial exit after supporting the company since its two million dollar seed round in twenty twenty three.

Touchstone helped Stride nearly triple its project portfolio and grow its valuation by over seven times through hands on advice and key connections.

This success story shows how early venture support can turn promising climate ideas into scalable businesses that attract bigger funds.

By targeting two hundred thousand more users by twenty thirty Stride aims to speed up clean energy adoption in a country pushing hard for renewables.

The move highlights rising investor interest in Southeast Asia's shift to distributed solar power which cuts reliance on fossil fuels.

For everyday people this means lower electricity bills cleaner air and more stable energy supply in homes and local shops.

Overall the deal points to a brighter outlook for green tech startups that combine finance with practical renewable solutions.
