Aslan
Human-supervised AI operatives for national security cyber ops
About Aslan
Aslan Protects is a Washington, D.C. cyber-intelligence startup founded in 2025 by Chase Reid and Ansel T. that builds human-supervised autonomous AI operatives for national security and law enforcement. Its software deploys AI agents into hostile digital environments at internet scale—using natural language processing and localised behavioural models—to establish persistent presence in illicit online spaces, map transnational crime and foreign-adversary networks, and surface actionable targets and infrastructure for agencies rather than static scrapes alone. The B2G platform is aimed at threats such as cross-border smuggling, foreign influence operations and illicit finance. In September 2026 Aslan raised $20.8 million in Seed funding co-led by Khosla Ventures and XYZ Venture Capital, with BoxGroup, 2048 Ventures, Liquid 2 Ventures and Alumni Ventures, to scale engineering, data science and threat-intelligence teams and expand compute for federal deployments.
