Eclipse is a team of operators and investors building companies that transform physical industries critical to people’s lives. What Moves Us The world is at a critical inflection point. Our society has never been so technically advanced, yet so unprepared for the challenges we face. But where others see challenges, we see potential for opportunity. The demand on physical industries now outweighs the capability of the infrastructure upon which they were built. We must harness the power of digitization to redefine physical industries across all sectors. It’s time to build the new digital economy, one that’s characterized by precision, not waste; resiliency, not vulnerability; strength, not fragility. At Eclipse, we see a future paved with innovation, growth, and the rapid improvement of both people’s lives and the planet we inhabit - an Industrial Evolution. Essential industries and critical infrastructures are ripe for transformation. We want to work with founders who have the vision, grit, and determination to change our collective future. Let’s get to work. How We Invest Eclipse backs talented entrepreneurs rebuilding the world’s physical industries. Our team of former operators has experience at all stages of company growth, from startup to IPO and beyond. While our investments typically span the stages from ideation to early growth, our knowledge and expertise allows us to think creatively and pursue ideas outside this mandate.
