Terra Industries has led a $1 million pre-seed round in Aeon, a Nigerian cybersecurity company building sovereign cyber defense for Africa and the Global South.
said Samuel Ogbonyomi, co-founder and chief executive officer of Aeon, who founded the company with Ben Eluan and Alex Idowu.
Terra is excited to partner with Aeon and its investment follows a successful pilot earlier this year.
The two companies have now formed a commercial joint venture to deploy Aeon’s cyber defense technology across military and commercial operations.
Together, both companies will co-execute contracts for government and corporate organizations across the Global South, with Terra protecting physical assets and Aeon protecting digital assets.
