London-based Geordie AI has raised $30M in a Series A led by Balderton Capital, valuing the company at approximately $180M post-money — believed to be the largest Series A for a cybersecurity startup in Europe to date
The startup reported 1,300% ARR growth in the first five months of 2026 as enterprises rush to govern AI agents they have already deployed but cannot adequately monitor
The cybersecurity agentic AI market stood at $1.83B in 2025 and is forecast to reach $7.84B by 2030, growing at a 33.83% CAGR, according to Mordor Intelligence
Eighty-two percent of enterprises already run AI agents. Only 44% have policies in place to secure them. That gap – between deployment and governance is the business Geordie AI was built to close.
Founded in early 2025 in London by Henry Comfort (CEO), formerly COO Americas at Darktrace through its IPO and $5B exit, Hanah-Marie Darley (Chief AI and Product Officer), former Director of Security and AI Strategy at Darktrace with a decade in US government intelligence, and Benji Weber (CTO), former Senior Director of Engineering at Snyk, Geordie has raised $30M in a Series A led by Balderton Capital.
