Aeon, a Nigerian cybersecurity startup building a platform to help high-trust organisations protect critical digital infrastructure, has raised $1 million in a pre-seed round led by defence-tech startup Terra Industries.
Resilience 17, the venture fund founded by Flutterwave co-founder and chief executive officer Olugbenga Agboola, Kaleo, DFS Labs, Ajim Capital, and Seedstars also participated in the funding round.
Aeon will use the funding to develop its cybersecurity products, expand business development, and turn existing pilots with financial services and cloud infrastructure companies into commercial deployments.
The raise comes as African businesses and governments face a growing cyber threat landscape. INTERPOL estimated that cyber incidents across the continent caused more than $3 billion in financial losses between 2019 and 2025. In its 2026 assessment, the organisation said artificial intelligence (AI) is now linked to 55% of reported cybercrimes in Africa.
“Almost every operator we worked with had a dozen security tools and no single view of their exposure,” Samuel Ogbonyomi, co-founder and chief executive officer of Aeon, said in a statement. “Attackers move across all of those systems at once. We built Aeon so a bank or a grid operator can see and fix its whole attack surface from one place.”
Ogbonyomi, Ben Eluan, and Alex Idowu began building Aeon in February 2026 through PipeOps, a cloud infrastructure management platform. Ogbonyomi described PipeOps as the parent entity and Aeon as a PipeOps product. Aeon is building what it describes as a cyber defence and compliance platform for high-trust organisations in commercial banking and finance, energy, oil and gas, and mobility sectors.
