I invest in the future of how things are made. As an angel investor and venture capitalist focused on Industry 4.0, I back startups transforming manufacturing through robotics, AI, IoT, edge computing, additive manufacturing, digital twins, predictive maintenance, and cyber-physical systems. My portfolio spans the full scope of the smart factory revolutionfrom machine learning platforms optimizing throughput, to embedded systems increasing precision, to data-driven manufacturing process automation. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve moved from investment management in Zurich to strategic roles across cutting-edge startups and global industrial firms. I currently sit on advisory boards of next-gen manufacturing technology companies, with hands-on involvement in growth strategy, go-to-market, and capital efficiency. My work with Siemens Digital Industries Software aligns with my mission: accelerate digital transformation in manufacturing to reduce waste, increase uptime, and build agile production ecosystems. I’ve invested in and advised startups working on human-machine interface software, autonomous robotic systems, AI-driven quality control, sensor-based workflow optimization, and edge-to-cloud industrial connectivity. At Eclipse Ventures, I focus on deep-tech infrastructure powering industrial reinvention. My goal: identify early-stage industrial tech founders who are solving real factory-floor problems, then provide capital, insight, and network to scale their solutions globally. If you're a founder rethinking how factories operate using smart sensors, robotics, AI, or real-time analytics, let's talk. I’m especially interested in hardware-software integration, energy-aware manufacturing, digital supply chains, and scalable industrial platforms. I speak the language of operators, engineers, and builders, and I invest like one too.
