Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Eclipse Ventures is pumping $500 million into industrial and enterprise tech startups. AI, robotics, and IoT are on the menu. They’ll also incubate new startups because, why not? It’s not like that’s been tried before. “Incubating” startups is just a fancy way of saying they’re trying to build something from scratch, again.
