Neel Somani

Researcher & Entrepreneur

I'm focused on what I think are the two defining problems of this decade: machine learning and the energy required to power it. My primer Power 2026 reached #1 overall on Apple Books.

Previously, I founded Eclipse (2022), a verifiable computing company. We raised $65M, and I led the company through the end of 2025.

Before that, I worked at Citadel as a quant researcher in the commodities group (2020–2022). I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2019 with a triple major in math, computer science, and business, completing an honors thesis in privacy/formal methods research (ACM Distinguished Paper).
