Augur raises £11.3m in seed funding led by Plural to expand security technology
Plural led the seed investment round to accelerate product development and deployment across public and private sector operations.
Augur is a London-based resilience technology company that applies artificial intelligence to support national security and protect critical infrastructure. Its platform turns existing camera and sensor networks into real-time intelligence tools for public safety.
London-based resilience technology firm Augur has secured £11.3m in a seed funding round led by Plural. The round also drew participation from First Kind, SNR, Flix, and Tiny VC. The newly secured capital will be directed towards accelerating product development and expanding the company's operational capacity to protect public venues and critical infrastructure. Launched in 2024, Augur builds artificial intelligence software that integrates with existing sensor systems to detect threats and coordinate responses in real time.
From the founder
"The nature of threats facing public spaces and critical infrastructure has changed. Incidents are faster, more dispersed and often designed to exploit gaps. Augur exists to close those gaps, helping operators spot warning signs earlier and make better use of their existing infrastructure. Our goal is simple: to help protect people in the places where they live, travel and gather."
Harry Mead
CEO at Augur
Investor perspective
"When it comes to protecting our people and critical infrastructure, we cannot afford to be as complacent and naive as we were in protecting Ukraine. The new focus on grey zone warfare and domestic sabotage is not a threat we are currently equipped to contain. Protecting our critical infrastructure is one of the defining challenges of this generation. The Augur team leverages a unique combination of deep field experience and technological innovation to deal with some of the most serious threats we have encountered as a society and a clear sense of responsibility not to lose our democratic values in the process."
