Aeon

Grateful as well for Representative Carter’s support since day one and leadership in advancing defense innovation!

Great day at the eMerge conference—meeting with partners and sharing the stage with brilliant founders Will Edwards and Steven Simoni, with fantastic moderating by Mike Sherbakov! If you’re at the conference, pop by our booth!

It was an honor for the Aeon team to meet with the Commanding General of Ft. Cavazos and the III Armored Corps, Lieutenant General Kevin D. Admiral. Together, we’re committed to equipping soldiers with the capabilities they need to remain the most lethal force in the world.

Should you build for defense? This is one of the best defense tech conversations you'll hear, with a founder, investor, and a DOD buyer discussing everything a company needs to consider when taking on the DOD as a customer. 8VC's Alex Moore, Aeon Industrial founder Naweed Tahmas, and our own Dr. Casey Perley sat with Allen Control Systems' Steven Simoni for a live recording of The Drone Ultimatum during Capital Factory House.

The defense industry has been controlled by the same few companies for decades. That’s starting to shift. Naweed Tahmas is building Aeon, a company focused on producing advanced tactical missile systems at scale. He’s moving fast, hiring top talent, and proving that smaller companies can compete where it counts. Before Aeon, Naweed worked at Umbra and served in the White House, coordinating defense and technology policy across multiple agencies. His work has shaped national security decisions at the highest levels. Aeon is scaling quickly and hiring aggressively. This is what competition in defense looks like. The primes don’t own the future—companies like Aeon are taking their share. Come to his event: https://lnkd.in/gm4PFh58
