[Mindgard](https://mindgard.ai/?ref=ai-360.online) has closed a US$30 million Series A led by Album VC, with participation from Karma Ventures and existing investors .406 Ventures, Atlantic Bridge, IQ Capital and Lakestar, [the company said on 12 August 2026](https://mindgard.ai/blog/mindgard-raises-30m-series-a?ref=ai-360.online).

The company plans to use the funding to scale across product, engineering, sales and marketing.

[Mindgard](https://www.ai-360.online/mindgard/), which is underpinned by an AI security lab at Lancaster University, said its platform has been used to uncover and publicly disclose more than 150 security and safety vulnerabilities across widely used AI products. It cited a zero-day code execution vulnerability in Cursor IDE, a trusted workspace flaw in Google Antigravity and image-generation guardrail failures in ChatGPT.

The company said the round follows deployment within Fortune 2000 companies and AI innovators across financial services, pharmaceuticals, gaming, digital services, semiconductors and healthcare.

“AI is creating an entirely new attack surface and organizations need a fundamentally different approach to securing it,” said James Brear, CEO of Mindgard.
