• Mutable Tactics

  Participated · Seed · Mar 2026

  Founded in 2024 by Colin MacLeod and Enrique Muñoz de Cote, Mutable Tactics builds AI-powered autonomy for robotic systems and is based in London. Its flagship orchestration system, Mastermind, provides edge autonomy that allows robots to continue missions when GPS or communications are lost. The platform uses intent-based control so commanders set high-level objectives while the AI translates those into actions, and it is designed to keep humans in the loop for rules of engagement and ethical constraints. The software is hardware-agnostic and intended to work with low-cost, off-the-shelf drone hardware. The company raised $2.1M in a pre-seed round to validate its technology with two European governments and support continued product development. No revenue, user, or other operating metrics are reported in the article.
