A new company called Geordie has emerged from stealth mode with a $6.5 million funding round and a platform designed to help businesses manage the security risks of using agentic AI. This type of AI, which includes programs that can autonomously perform tasks, is becoming increasingly popular with companies looking to improve efficiency and cut costs. However, these AI agents often have elevated privileges and access to sensitive data and critical tools, making them attractive targets for malicious actors.
Geordie’s platform is built to help organizations deploy AI agents securely. It does this by identifying every agent and tracking what each one is doing. The platform provides real-time visibility and alerts customers when it detects unexpected behavior. It also tracks the adoption of AI agents, their usage patterns, and associated risks. This gives companies the tools they need to safely integrate this technology into their operations.
Based in London, Geordie was founded in early 2025 by a team of cybersecurity and AI experts who previously held leadership positions at well-known companies like Darktrace and Snyk. This expertise in both security and AI positions the company to tackle the unique challenges posed by agentic technology. The founders’ background gives them a deep understanding of the enterprise security landscape and the specific vulnerabilities that AI agents can create.
The company’s initial funding, a seed round, was led by two prominent venture capital firms, Ten Eleven Ventures and General Catalyst. They were also joined by a group of individual investors. This significant financial backing indicates a strong belief in Geordie’s mission and the growing market need for a solution that can secure the use of AI agents in business settings. The investment will likely be used to further develop the platform and expand the company’s reach.
According to Henry Comfort, Geordie’s co-founder and CEO, the platform is “purpose-built for agents” and ensures that enterprises “don’t have to choose between innovation and security.” He added that by offering real-time visibility into agent activity and aligning with enterprise policies, Geordie is building trust and providing the necessary tools for safe AI adoption. This approach highlights the company’s goal of enabling businesses to safely harness the power of AI agents without exposing themselves to new security threats.
