Company Profile
Eclipse Ventures is a venture capital firm dedicated to transforming the physical economy by partnering with innovators who are rebuilding essential industries. The firm focuses on strengthening the resilience, competitiveness, and security of critical systems globally. They invest in companies leveraging advanced technologies such as AI, robotics, computer vision, automation, and software systems to modernize sectors that traditionally involve physical infrastructure and operations.
Founded in 2015 by Lior Susan, Eclipse Ventures emerged from a recognition of the significant headwinds facing physical industries and the vast, untapped opportunity for digital transformation within these sectors. Susan, an investor and entrepreneur with a background in leading hardware investment platforms, observed the inefficiencies and eroding competitive advantages in manufacturing and other physical industries. Convinced that digital transformation would bolster both economic and national security, he established Eclipse to provide patient capital and operational expertise to entrepreneurs building the next generation of companies in these critical areas.
Eclipse Ventures has a diverse portfolio spanning various stages and industries. Notable investments include Redwood Materials, focused on battery recycling and energy storage; Cerebras Systems, a leader in AI computing architecture; Wayve, pioneering autonomous driving technology; and Ursa Major, developing propulsion systems for space and hypersonics. Other portfolio companies include Bedrock Robotics, Mytra, Reframe Systems, Blue Water Autonomy, Genesis AI, ForSight Robotics, True Anomaly, Remedy Scientific, AheadComputing, and VulcanForms, all contributing to the firm's vision of an "Industrial Evolution" through technology.
The Eclipse Ventures team is comprised of experienced operators and investors who have spent decades building and scaling companies from inception to IPO. Partners bring hard-won experience from roles at major companies like Apple, Amazon, Bridgewater, and Samsara, providing deep operational expertise in areas such as building factories, shipping hardware, scaling supply chains, and navigating policy and regulatory complexities. This hands-on approach allows the firm to actively support portfolio companies in sharpening strategy, pressure-testing technology, recruiting leaders, and achieving critical milestones.
