Neel Somani
Researcher & Entrepreneur
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).
After a brief stint at Airbnb as a software engineer, I joined Citadel as a quant researcher in the commodities group.
In 2022, I founded Eclipse: Ethereum's first SVM L2. We've raised $65M.
Since then, I've incubated and supported several early-stage companies. I'm now focused on philanthropy and machine learning research.
