Cashmere operates a proprietary OmniPub infrastructure that converts premium content into structured, rights-cleared datasets usable by AI systems. Its platform offers token-level access control, automated rights management, granular usage tracking, and revenue settlement, enabling publishers to monetize their intellectual property while maintaining protection. For AI companies, Cashmere supplies scarce, authoritative material that boosts model quality and differentiation beyond ordinary web-crawled data. The company has inked content partnerships with John Wiley & Sons and Harvard Business Publishing and already serves AI clients such as Perplexity. NAVER’s venture arm plans to collaborate with Cashmere, potentially integrating the platform into NAVER’s search and content products. Strengthened by a newly announced $5 million seed round, Cashmere aims to establish itself as the industry standard for licensing premium data to the AI ecosystem.
