Overmind launches with £2M in seed funding to support development of agentic AI

London-based
Overmind, which is developing a supervision layer for AI agents, has closed a
£2 million seed funding round. The round was led by specialist cybersecurity
investor Osney Capital, with participation from 14Peaks, Portfolio Ventures,
Antler, and Endurance Ventures.

As
agentic AI systems advance, security requirements are becoming more complex and
are increasingly difficult to address with existing tools. These systems can be
exposed to adversarial inputs and data integrity issues, particularly when
operating autonomously in production environments. As a result, risk management
has become a limiting factor for deployment.

Overmind
develops technology designed to support the secure deployment of agentic AI.
Its platform provides visibility into agent behaviour, enabling monitoring and
intervention when deviations occur during live operation. The system also
applies reinforcement learning techniques to improve agent performance and
reliability over time.

Overmind
was founded by a team with backgrounds across intelligence and technology,
including Tyler Edwards (CEO), Akhat Rakishev (CTO), and Sam Brunt (CRO). According
to Edwards, the company’s focus is on addressing risks that arise when AI
agents operate in live environments, where behaviour can change over time and
direct oversight is limited.

The company plans to use the funding to expand its
technical teams, continue product development, and scale go-to-market efforts
in regulated industries such as legal, healthcare, and fintech, where agentic
AI deployment requires strong compliance and data protection controls.
