Always Further

Always Further builds AI agent security and model training infrastructure, founded by Luke Hinds and Stephen Parkinson and backed by $1.8M in pre-seed funding from Surface Ventures. Luke Hinds, a former Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat, created Sigstore — the open source signing standard adopted by npm, PyPI, Maven Central, and Kubernetes — and previously co-founded Stacklok. The company develops DeepFabric for synthetic dataset generation, nono for OS-level AI agent sandboxing, and contributes to Sigstore for cryptographic provenance. Always Further is based in the UK and operates as an open source-first company focused on making AI agents reliable, efficient, and secure for enterprise deployment.
