I just heard that Neel Somani, CEO of Eclipse, resigned around the end of last year to pursue machine learning. It seemed like an unexpected turning point, but it turns out this change was planned in advance. Neel Somani founded Eclipse Labs in 2022, initially to find scalable solutions based on Solana, then in 2023 pivoted to building a high-performance Layer 2 for Ethereum. After a $50 million Series A round in 2024, Neel Somani transitioned from CEO to Executive Chairman. Now he has completely left to focus on a different field. The interesting part is that this leadership transition does not affect his shares or authority within the board. Interestingly, the founder left while the company was growing, probably really wanting to pursue something new.
