Listen to the episodeAbout geoSurge
geoSurge is a London-based AI startup founded in 2025. The company works on the problem of brand visibility inside generative systems, moving beyond prompt tracking and traditional SEO. Its thesis is that brands must understand how AI models learn, remember and represent information over time. In July 2026, it raised a €10M Seed round led by AlbionVC to expand research and engineering teams, invest in compute and develop the discipline of Corpus Engineering.
