Overview
Eclipse Foods creates plant-based dairy products that closely mimic traditional dairy in taste and texture. Their main product is plant-based ice cream, which is made by analyzing the molecular structure of milk and using plant-based ingredients to replicate it. This method allows them to produce not only ice cream but also cheese and milk without any animal products. Unlike many competitors, Eclipse Foods focuses on direct-to-consumer sales through their online platform and partnerships with grocery stores, making their products easily accessible. Their goal is to provide delicious, sustainable, and ethical alternatives to conventional dairy, catering to health-conscious individuals, vegans, and those with lactose intolerance.

Eclipse Foods Grabs $40M+ Series B Round Back to Home. OAKLAND, CA, Eclipse Foods, the leader in sustainable, plant-based dairy products that are indistinguishable from conventional dairy, announces a Series B funding round of over $40 million
Grocery store shelves, both online and in-store, are full of plant-based products created to be dairy substitutes. Oakland-based Eclipse Foods doesn’t want its sustainable, plant-based dairy products to be just another substitute; they want it to be so similar to conventional dairy in taste, texture and functionality that you won’t be able to tell the difference. Co-founders Aylon Steinhart and Thomas Bowman believe Eclipse Foods has come a long way since its 2019 origins. Steinhart, CEO, is an alternative protein expert who was previously with the Good Food Institute, where he incubated dozens of startups within that space. Bowman, CTO, is a James Beard–nominated chef and has a food science background. Prior to Eclipse, he was director of R&D and product development at Hampton Creek, now known as Eat Just
RIYADH: Oakland-based Eclipse Foods has raised over $40 million in its Series B funding round led by Sozo Ventures with participation from Forerunner Ventures, Initialized Capital, Gaingels, and KBW Ventures.
