Overmind lands €2.3 million seed round for AI agent supervision
London-based startup Overmind, which is building a supervision and security layer for autonomous “agentic” AI systems, has raised a €2.3 million (£2 million) seed round to expand engineering, accelerate product development and scale go-to-market efforts.
The round was led by specialist cybersecurity investor Osney Capital, with participation from 14Peaks, Portfolio Ventures, Antler and Endurance Ventures. The company said it will focus commercial expansion on regulated sectors including legal services, healthcare and FinTech, where automated agents can deliver productivity gains but face strict requirements on compliance, auditability and data privacy.
Shifting focus from model security to production behaviour
Tyler Edwards, co-founder and CEO of Overmind, argued that much of the current AI security debate targets the wrong layer. “Models will always be vulnerable to adversarial inputs,” he said, adding that the higher-stakes risk emerges when an agent is deployed, connected to real systems and its behaviour drifts in production. Overmind aims to provide monitoring and intervention capabilities at the deployment layer, giving teams visibility into agent actions and the ability to halt or correct unsafe execution.
Investors cite agent security as a competitive advantage
Adam Cragg, partner at Osney Capital, said that in autonomous AI, agent security, performance and execution will become decisive differentiators, describing Overmind as a way for businesses to scale agent deployments with greater confidence.
Founded by intelligence and high-growth tech veterans
Founded in 2025, Overmind positions itself as a devtool that learns from production data using “pattern of life” analysis to translate real-world agent behaviour into continuous improvement. The founding team blends UK intelligence experience and startup scaling credentials: Edwards previously built AI systems supporting British intelligence agencies including MI5, MI6 and GCHQ; CTO Akhat Rakishev led machine learning infrastructure at Monzo and Lyst; and CRO Sam Brunt has held go-to-market roles at unicorns including Funding Circle, Pipe and Vertice.
The raise comes amid growing European investment into agentic AI and governance tooling, as enterprises weigh the benefits of automation against the operational risks of autonomous systems.
