Eclipse

Eclipse Ventures (eclipse.capital) is an operator-led venture capital firm founded in 2015 by Lior Susan, headquartered in Palo Alto with an additional office in New York City. Eclipse invests in entrepreneurs building companies across the "physical economy," including manufacturing, robotics, defense, industrial automation, energy, transportation, infrastructure, construction, agriculture, and physical AI. The firm invests across stages from pre-seed and seed through growth, and also co-founds companies from day zero via its Venture Equity practice. In April 2026, Eclipse closed $1.3 billion across two new funds—a $591 million early-stage incubation fund and a larger growth-oriented fund—bringing total assets under management to roughly $10 billion Tech Funding News. Reported check sizes typically range from $1M to $25M, with the firm investing primarily in North America while selectively backing companies globally (e.g., UK-based Wayve).
