Vizgard Ltd

Founded in 2021 by CEO Alex Kehoe and based in London, UK, Vizgard Ltd develops edge computing- and artificial intelligence-based software-as-a-service to automate drones, counter-unmanned aerial systems, and long-range surveillance camera systems. In January 2025, Vizgard Ltd raised GBP 1. 5 million in seed funding led by investor Sure Valley Ventures, with participation from other investors Focal and Midwich Ignite. VIZGARD Ltd's core offerings revolve around the FortifAI AI server, which integrates with unmanned systems, CCTV, and long-range surveillance cameras to provide actionable intelligence that transcends traditional object detection methods.

This technology employs an edge-based visual autonomy engine capable of real-time processing, enabling speed tracking and precision automation for time-critical applications. The primary use cases for VIZGARD's solutions include UxV automation, long-range security, and counter-UAS operations, effectively addressing the challenges posed by increasing sensor data and the need for reliable threat detection. VIZGARD serves a diverse clientele, including security providers, military organisations, and public safety agencies, primarily focusing on markets in North America, Europe, and select Asia-Pacific regions. VIZGARD generates revenue through a combination of subscription-based services and direct partnerships with clients in the security and defense sectors.

The company will use the January 2025 funding to scale its engineering and business development teams and expand its international distribution network.
