For investors
Back the company that makes grid attacks physically irrelevant.
VixSiren is a deep-tech, category-defining OT security company. The hard problem is solved and demonstrated. We’re raising to take it from validated MVP to its first live substation pilot.

The investment thesis
Why VixSiren, and why now.
A real, escalating market
Power grids are the most critical infrastructure on earth and under sustained, AI-accelerated attack. The market is validated by well-funded incumbents — but they only detect and alert.
A category-defining shift
VixSiren safeguards the grid’s influence, not its perimeter — it neutralizes an attack before it can do physical harm. That’s a new category, not a better wall.
A defensible moat
The physics-grounded method is proprietary and protected. Combined with per-plant calibration and the production system itself, it is genuinely hard to copy.
Capital-efficient execution
A complete, working MVP built on minimal resources. Funding accelerates a proven approach — it doesn’t discover whether it works.
Traction — transparently
Early stage, honestly stated.
- Working MVP — built and demonstrated end-to-end
- Validated end-to-end against a high-fidelity simulated grid
- In active testing — early results are very positive
- Pre-revenue · pre-pilot
- Seeking pilot sites and strategic partners
We never imply production deployments or certifications we don’t have.
Business model
Security-as-a-service — recurring revenue per protected site, scaling across substations and utilities.
A clear route off grant dependency: validated MVP → paid field pilot → multi-site rollout, Africa first, then the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.
Deployment & investment readiness
Built against the criteria that get a pre-deployment technology funded.
Engineered against the criteria infrastructure investors and energy grant programs evaluate before backing a pre-deployment technology.
Interoperable — no rip-and-replace
VixSiren deploys alongside the systems a plant already runs, integrating with existing operational-technology environments and industrial protocols. No overhaul of legacy infrastructure required.
Aligned with the rules — today
Designed around IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and the ERC Kenya Grid Code, and — because it never actuates the grid — it operates under current regulations. No legislative change is needed for it to deliver value.
Validated end-to-end
The core technology is proven — built, tested, and demonstrated end-to-end against a high-fidelity simulated grid. This is a validated platform on a clear path to field pilot, not a concept on paper.
Fail-safe by design
Read-only over the grid and built to fail safe: it can never become a new way to disrupt operations, and it yields cleanly to a plant’s native protection. Transparent, conservative risk allocation.
Secure & decentralized architecture
Runs at the edge, fully offline and air-gap capable, with integrity-sealed, tamper-evident records — resilient by design, with no dependence on a vulnerable central cloud.
A clear path to commercialization
A capital-efficient build with a security-as-a-service commercial model and a defined route from working MVP through field pilot to sustainable, recurring revenue.
The raise
A blended pre-seed — to reach first live pilot.
We’re raising a pre-seed round blending non-dilutive grant capital with strategic investment. The full model and figures are in the data room.
Production engineering
Harden the working MVP into a production-grade, field-deployable platform built for the reliability critical infrastructure demands.
Hardware & field devices
Acquire the industrial edge-computing units and operational-technology field devices required to run live substation pilots on real grid hardware.
Team expansion
Grow specialized talent across OT security, applied machine learning, and systems engineering to accelerate toward deployment.
Pilot & certification
Stand up our first live pilot deployment and pursue the standards certifications that unlock procurement by utilities and regulators.
Founder
Victoria Wahura founded VixSiren to close a dangerous gap in how the world protects its power grids — self-healing AI that keeps critical infrastructure stable even when an adversary is already inside. A cybersecurity analyst completing her degree in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics at Meru University of Science and Technology (graduating later in 2026), she leads the company’s vision and engineering from Nairobi.
Mission
To strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure by protecting power plants with intelligent, AI-driven cyber defense that anticipates, withstands, and recovers from evolving cyber threats.
Vision
A future where every power plant operates securely, resiliently, and without interruption — forming the foundation of safer and more resilient critical infrastructure worldwide.
