Eclipse

What is Eclipse?

Eclipse is a venture capital fund based in the United States with a clear focus on early-stage and seed investments. They position themselves as not just investors but as seasoned founders, CEOs, operators, and engineers who bring their collective experience of creating and scaling complex operations to their companies. The firm's investment thesis revolves around having conviction, which drives all their activities.

They emphasize a preference for quality over quantity, purposely choosing to invest in a smaller number of companies each year.

This approach allows them to be all in with the selected companies, leading investments and serving as active board members and hands-on partners. They utilize their category-defining experience to assist the next generation of founders. Eclipse is also dedicated to venturing beyond capital, which suggests that they provide more than just financial support to their portfolio companies, including insights, mentorship, and access to a broader network.

With offices in the Bay Area and New York City, they are strategically located to interface with emerging businesses in key entrepreneurial ecosystems. Their website shares various resources such as industry perspectives, news, and the ECO report indicating their involvement in the entrepreneurial community and commitment to sharing valuable expertise and market insights.
