Founded by an entrepreneur with deep roots in criminal justice and technology, Prometheus combines industry expertise with innovative solutions to give African states an advantage in defense intelligence.
Built for sovereignty. Engineered for the threat.
Prometheus exists because the platforms African intelligence services depend on were built for a different continent, a different adversary, and a different doctrine. We are not retrofitting foreign tooling for African operators. We are building the platform from first principles — sovereign by architecture, calibrated for the threat environment, and answerable to the states it serves. We launch in Nigeria.
Our founding belief: sovereign capability is not bought. It is built — one institution at a time, by people who answer to the continent, not to a foreign quarterly earnings call.
Wilkinson Egwu
A serial entrepreneur with a passion for justice, Wilkinson brings the vision and the operating discipline behind Prometheus. A 3× founder with a patent to his name, he is an operator who has spent his career turning ambitious ideas into working institutions — and is now applying that same discipline to one of the most important problems of his generation: Africa's sovereign intelligence capability, beginning with Nigeria.
He studied at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City — the United States' premier institution for law-enforcement and criminal-justice education and the training ground for generations of federal, state, and municipal security leadership. That academic foundation, paired with a builder's instinct for shipping, uniquely positions him to do something rare: bridge the gap between technology and state defense, between the operator's reality and the platform that actually serves it.
He founded Prometheus to give African states a sovereign intelligence platform on terms set on the continent — not in Washington, London, or Beijing. The platform launches with the Federal Republic of Nigeria and scales across ECOWAS and the African Union.
Four principles guide every line of code.
Sensitive workflows belong on sovereign infrastructure. Every architectural decision starts here — not as a marketing posture, but as a non-negotiable engineering constraint.
We engineer for the adversaries African states actually face: irregular networks, multi-lingual signals, kinship-based command, and operations conducted on degraded infrastructure.
Every query is audit-logged. Every access is constrained by clearance. Constitutional discipline is encoded into the platform — not bolted on as policy.
AI augments analysts; it does not replace them. The platform refuses speculation, demands source material, and treats every output as a draft for human review.
