​Where founders come to go further, faster.

​Every other week, Antler hosts fast-paced AMAs for founders who want to move with urgency and build with real momentum.

​This session features Tyler, founder of Overmind, an Antler-backed company securing AI agents in production for regulated enterprises that can’t afford failure.

​Before founding Overmind during Antler's Spring '25 Residency, Tyler spent seven years inside UK intelligence agencies, building technology used at the sharp end of international crises. He saw early that the risks emerging with autonomous AI looked eerily familiar: real-time threats, behavioural uncertainty, and zero margin for error. Overmind was built to solve exactly that.

​Today, Overmind instruments' agent execution end-to-end: capturing full traces, using reinforcement learning on live production data, detecting anomalies before incidents, and turning security from a drag on progress into a performance advantage. Since finishing Antler, the team has deployed across fintech enterprises selling to Visa and Mastercard, doubled in size, and raised millions to take on the category.

​In this session, you’ll hear directly from Tyler what it took to go from insight to conviction, locking in real customers during the Antler residency, and from early execution to serious scale. You’ll also get a clear sense of how Antler works, what we look for, and whether this is the right next step for you.
