These Gen Zers just raised $11.75M to put Africa’s defense back in the hands of Africans
- Nathan Nwachuku launched Terra Industries to address Africa's security challenges.
- Terra Industries raised $11.75 million in a funding round led by 8VC.
- The company aims to build Africa's first defense prime with autonomous defense systems.
The establishment of Terra Industries represents a significant step towards self-sufficiency in defense for Africa. By focusing on local resources and expertise, the company could not only enhance security but also stimulate economic growth through job creation. However, the success of such initiatives will depend on overcoming the entrenched issues of governance and regional cooperation.
