Profile

Eclipse Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Palo Alto, founded in 2015 by Lior Susan. The firm specializes in investing in hard-tech categories, combining artificial intelligence with robotics, hardware, and industrial systems. It is led by a team with extensive backgrounds in manufacturing, supply chain management, and hardware engineering, making it distinct within the venture capital space for its operational expertise.

Eclipse Ventures focuses on the physical economy by investing in sectors such as robotics, autonomous systems, manufacturing, battery and energy infrastructure, and defense-adjacent hardware. The firm is US-centric but has selective international exposure with notable investments in the UK. With a total AUM of approximately $10 billion, the firm operates several funds, including Eclipse Fund VI for early-stage investments and Early Growth Fund III for scaling companies. Investment sizes typically range from $5 million to $30 million, consistent with Eclipse's pattern.

Notable portfolio companies include Wayve, an autonomous driving AI platform; Cerebras, a wafer-scale AI chip company; Redwood Materials, focusing on battery materials recycling; Arc, which develops electric boats; Bedrock Robotics, providing autonomous construction vehicles; and Mind Robotics, specializing in manufacturing automation. These companies illustrate Eclipse Ventures' focus on commercially ambitious and technically deep industries.
