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

Overmind is building a supervision platform that observes and intervenes in AI agent behaviour, supporting secure use of agentic AI in production systems.

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.
