Overmind, a London-based startup building a “supervision layer” for AI agents, has emerged from stealth with a £2 million seed round to help companies deploy agentic AI more safely in production environments.
The financing was led by specialist cybersecurity investor Osney Capital, with participation from 14Peaks, Portfolio Ventures, Antler, and Endurance Ventures.
Overmind positions its technology as a deployment-layer infrastructure for teams running autonomous agents inside real systems. The company says enterprises are increasingly converging on the same foundation models, shifting competitive advantage to execution—specifically, whether teams can deploy agents reliably, pass security reviews, and build ambitious products without sacrificing speed for safety.
At the core of Overmind’s approach is monitoring and intervention: the platform is designed to observe agent behavior in real time, detect deviations or “drift,” and enable teams to intervene before issues escalate. Overmind also says it uses “pattern of life” analysis to translate real-world behavior into continuous improvement, enabling agents to become more reliable and specialized over time.
CEO and co-founder Tyler Edwards argues the biggest risks are not limited to model vulnerabilities, but emerge when agents interact with production systems and external inputs—conditions where oversight is limited and behavior can change. In that context, Overmind targets organizations seeking the benefits of agentic AI while operating under strict security, compliance, and data protection requirements.
Overmind was founded by Edwards (CEO), Akhat Rakishev (CTO), and Sam Brunt (CRO). The company plans to use the new capital to expand technical teams, accelerate product development, and scale go-to-market efforts, with an initial focus on regulated industries such as legal, healthcare, and fintech.
