Background

London-based AI visibility startup geoSurge has raised $12 million, or £9.4 million, in an oversubscribed seed funding round to expand its approach to brand representation across AI systems.

Founded in 2025, geoSurge builds tools that help businesses track and manage how their brands appear within generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Rather than focusing on real-time citation tracking, a practice often called “LLM optimisation,” geoSurge targets the underlying data models that shape how AI systems understand and retain brand information over time.

Francisco Vigo, CEO and co-founder of geoSurge, said much of the market still approaches AI visibility through an SEO lens. As a data scientist, he said he views these systems differently, focusing on how models learn, remember and represent brands over time. He added that surface-level prompt tracking will likely become commoditised as AI infrastructure matures.

The new funding will scale engineering teams, expand compute infrastructure and advance geoSurge’s proprietary “Corpus Engineering” framework.

AlbionVC led the round, with participation from Play Ventures, Octopus Ventures, Celero Ventures, Boost Capital, and existing backers Passion Capital and Tuesday Capital. Angel investors from Google DeepMind, Microsoft AI and Signal AI also joined.

geoSurge said its headcount has doubled since emerging from stealth last year, with technical staff making up 80 percent of its workforce. The company serves enterprise clients across financial services, education and hospitality.

Valérie Aelbrecht, investment manager at AlbionVC, called the team’s work foundational technology for a category she expects to grow in importance as AI systems increasingly shape commercial decisions.
