Mind Foundry is an Oxford University spin-out, founded in 2016 and headquartered at Ewert House in Oxford, United Kingdom, that builds applied machine learning for high-stakes, real-world problems across defence, national security, insurance, infrastructure and government. Its current products are SENTRY, a multi-modal sensor-fusion capability that detects, classifies and tracks objects in time and space from raw sensor data, and NIGHTINGALE, AI-enabled acoustic intelligence for anti-submarine warfare that has been integrated with Thales systems. Mind Foundry delivers these as deployed and integrated systems for customers and prime contractors rather than as a public, self-serve developer API, and it publishes no developer portal, API reference or machine-readable specification. The company previously operated OPTaaS (Optimization as a Service), a Bayesian optimisation API with first-party Python and R clients; the OPTaaS service hosts and its GitHub client repositories are no longer reachable, and the PyPI client has had no release since January 2024. Mind Foundry publishes ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and JOSCAR certifications on its own site.
