Founders frame the business within a broader vision of more electric, accessible and autonomous aviation while emphasizing immediate defense applications. The team has validated capability through trials and early production runs prior to this Series A. With the new funding, leadership plans to scale production, expand internationally and broaden the product line.

• 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.

• Refute

  Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

  Refute builds an artificial-intelligence platform that identifies early signals of coordinated online manipulation and supplies near real-time intelligence and response recommendations. The system is used by both public-sector and commercial customers, particularly those in higher-risk sectors such as elections and mining, to strengthen resilience against increasingly sophisticated influence operations. In recent European elections, the platform uncovered more than 32,500 inauthentic TikTok videos aimed at expatriate communities, while 40 percent of monitored mining-sector sites showed signs of misleading or inauthentic activity. Having emerged from stealth with a pre-seed round in 2024, the company is now expanding its technology and client base. The newly secured seed capital will fund further product development and broaden engagement with governments and enterprises facing hybrid warfare and reputational threats. Financially, Refute has raised at least two rounds (pre-seed and seed) to date, with the latest £5 million injection supporting continued growth and R&D.
