Mindgard

Attacker-style recon and automated red team for models, agents, IDEs, and the systems around them.

Proof of life. Raised $30M Series A led by Album VC, August 2026

Spun out of Lancaster University research, Mindgard maps the AI attack surface first, then exploits it the way a human red team would. Public disclosures (Cursor, Google Antigravity, Sora, Grok) feed a private knowledge base so scans are not just prompt-injection bingo. Runtime protection and CI/CD hooks sit on top of that same recon so findings can be retested after a fix.
