Eclipse Ventures

Eclipse Ventures was founded in 2015 by Lior Susan with a unique focus on industrial transformation through applied technology. The firm targets startups that are digitizing and automating massive legacy industries, particularly in manufacturing, logistics, aerospace, and defense. Eclipse has distinguished itself by combining deep technical expertise with industry knowledge, often partnering with large corporations to help validate and scale portfolio companies. The firm's investment approach emphasizes companies that can leverage emerging technologies like robotics, AI, and IoT to transform traditional industries worth trillions of dollars. Eclipse has raised multiple funds and typically invests from seed through Series B, with check sizes ranging from $1M to $30M. The firm's portfolio includes companies working on factory automation, supply chain optimization, and defense technology, reflecting their thesis that the next wave of venture returns will come from transforming physical industries rather than purely digital consumer applications.
