Xora Innovation, an early-stage AI and deep tech investment firm backed by Temasek, has appointed Eric Rosenblum as General Partner.
Based in Silicon Valley, he will help grow Xora’s presence in the U.S. and speed up its investments in leading companies working in AI infrastructure, applied AI, and deep tech.
This appointment comes at a time when Xora is seeing strong growth in its portfolio. One example is the acquisition of Celestial AI by Marvell Technology.
Xora has also invested in fast-growing companies like Amperesand, Bedrock Robotics, Rhoda AI, Upscale AI, and Vinci.
“Eric has a rare full stack background, where he’s built software at top global AI and tech companies, founded and successfully exited startups, and then proved that he can hunt and win as an investor,” said Phil Inagaki, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Xora. “Most importantly, he has earned deep trust from founders through relentless and authentic support. This, combined with his domain understanding of both the AI software and hardware layers, makes him a huge asset for our founders and a formidable addition to our investment team.”
“We’re in the middle of one of the most significant innovation cycles in decades, driven by how AI is being built and deployed,” said Eric Rosenblum, General Partner, Xora. “Through our co-investments, I’ve seen how Xora works closely with founders to scale companies in complex, high-stakes sectors. Their level of commitment and operational capabilities as former entrepreneurs go far beyond capital, and that’s what it takes to build enduring companies in this moment.”
Xora invests in AI and deep tech startups that are changing important industries. It provides funding and long-term support to help these companies grow.
The firm focuses on three main areas: AI infrastructure, applied AI, and deep tech. It also helps its portfolio companies using its experience and the strong network of its main backer, Temasek.
