Overmind Secures £2M to Supervise the Next Wave of Autonomous AI Agents

London-based Overmind has closed a £2 million seed funding round to build what it calls a “supervision layer” for AI agents—a critical piece of infrastructure as autonomous systems become more prevalent in high-stakes industries. The round was led by specialist cybersecurity investor Osney Capital, with participation from 14Peaks, Portfolio Ventures, Antler, and Endurance Ventures.

As AI agents evolve from experimental tools into operational teammates, a new security paradigm is emerging. These autonomous systems can process sensitive data, make decisions without human approval, and adapt their behavior over time—creating vulnerabilities that traditional security tools weren’t designed to handle. Adversarial inputs, data integrity issues, and unpredictable behavior patterns pose significant risks when agents operate without constant oversight.

Overmind’s platform addresses this challenge by providing continuous visibility into agent behavior during live operation. The system monitors AI agents as they work, identifying deviations from expected patterns and enabling real-time intervention when necessary. By applying reinforcement learning techniques, Overmind doesn’t just detect problems—it helps agents learn from their mistakes and improve their reliability over time.

The founding team brings unique expertise to this challenge. CEO Tyler Edwards, CTO Akhat Rakishev, and CRO Sam Brunt combine backgrounds in intelligence operations and technology development. Their approach focuses on the specific risks that emerge when AI agents operate in production environments, where behavior can drift and direct human oversight becomes impractical.

The funding will accelerate Overmind’s technical development and market expansion, with particular focus on regulated sectors where AI deployment requires rigorous compliance and data protection. Legal firms handling confidential client information, healthcare providers managing patient data, and fintech companies processing financial transactions represent key target markets where the stakes of AI failure are highest.

As agentic AI moves from proof-of-concept to production reality, Overmind’s supervision layer could become an essential component of enterprise AI infrastructure—ensuring that autonomous systems remain aligned with their intended purpose while maintaining security and compliance standards.
