Geordie Raises $30M to Secure Enterprise AI Agents

Geordie AI, a London-based startup specializing in AI governance, has secured $30 million in Series A funding—the largest for a European cybersecurity company at this stage. The round was led by Balderton Capital, with participation from Crosspoint Capital, General Catalyst, and Ten Eleven Ventures, bringing total funding to $36.5 million and a $155 million valuation. The company focuses on monitoring autonomous AI agents, which enterprises increasingly deploy for tasks like data access, coding, and API interactions, but pose unseen security risks. Founded by executives from Darktrace and Snyk, Geordie AI addresses the challenge of tracking these digital workers, which operate without human oversight and can expose sensitive data or trigger system failures. CEO Henry Comfort highlighted the need for visibility into agent permissions and behaviors, warning that unchecked agents may cause data leaks or operational disruptions. The company reported 1,300% annual recurring revenue growth in five months and serves clients including AlphaSense and Owkin. Unlike traditional log-auditing tools, Geordie AI operates as a runtime governance layer, mapping agent ecosystems and identifying over-permissioned access in under 10 minutes. Its proprietary Beam module actively intervenes in real time, redirecting agents that deviate from security policies without disabling the underlying AI tools. This approach prevents exploits while maintaining operational continuity. The funding follows Geordie AI’s recent industry recognition, including an RSAC Innovation Sandbox win. The company’s technology distinguishes itself by combining visibility with proactive mitigation, addressing a growing gap in enterprise AI security as organizations scale autonomous systems. With its Series A round oversubscribed, Geordie AI aims to expand its platform to meet rising demand for secure AI agent deployment.
