Mirror Security, a cybersecurity company has raised $2.5 million in a pre-seed round led by Sure Valley Ventures and Atlantic Bridge.
The company plans to use the capital to expand its engineering and AI security teams across Ireland, the US and India, advance work on encrypted inferencing and secure fine-tuning, and strengthen its presence in the US enterprise market.
Founded in 2024 by Pankaj Thapa and Aditya Narayana K, Mirror Security was spun out of University College Dublin. The startup builds a platform designed to help enterprises run AI systems without exposing sensitive information during training or inference. Its offering includes AgentIQ for agentic system security, DiscoveR for automated red-teaming, and VectaX, a fully homomorphic encryption engine that allows computation on encrypted data.
Mirror has also signed a strategic agreement with G42’s Inception AI to deploy its platform across enterprise and government environments. The company said it is working with partners including Intel, MongoDB, Qdrant, SiSys AI and Accops to support its expansion.
The startup aims to reduce the operational risks organisations face when processing proprietary or regulated data through AI systems.
