A Parallel Journey to the Frontlines of Industry 4.0
Before broken supply chains and resilient manufacturing were top of mind globally, forward-thinkers were already focused on solutions for digitizing these old-line industries that drew from their unique backgrounds. Saar Yoskovitz applied his academic research around speech recognition on industrial machines to detect and predict malfunctions, and went on to co-found Augury. Lior Susan parlayed his experience fueling innovation for one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers into a career investing in digital transformation as founding partner of Eclipse Ventures.
Their shared conviction to realize Industry 4.0 through company building now seems prophetic. The success of their parallel journeys thus far involve commitment to a vision few others had and finding the right allies along the way.
