Salus Cloud, an African AI-native DevOps startup, has raised $3.7 million in seed funding to scale its secure, automated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform throughout Africa and the Middle East. The funding round was led by Atlantica Ventures and P1 Ventures, with participation from Idris Bello of Lofty Inc. Capital and angel investor Timothy Chen of Essence VC.
Founded in 2024 by Andrew Mori, Salus Cloud addresses a critical gap in emerging tech ecosystems: the widespread lack of secure and automated CI/CD pipelines. Globally, less than one-third of enterprises have implemented such pipelines, and in Africa, many startups and SMEs lack these foundational tools entirely.
With this new capital, Salus aims to accelerate product development, improve user onboarding for both self-service and enterprise clients, and deepen partnerships with developer communities and tech hubs across underserved markets.
Salus leverages AI-powered developer agents, automated security fixes, and enterprise-grade DevOps features tailored for lean teams and priced to support growth markets. CEO and co-founder Andrew Mori highlighted the company’s mission: “We built Salus so a fintech can focus on loans, an e-commerce company on logistics, not on securing Kubernetes or building core banking from scratch.”
