Podqi provides an automated IP protection platform that transforms how brands detect, enforce against, and monetize digital infringements. Its system automates the entire protection workflow from detection to takedown, scanning millions of potential infringements daily to enable immediate enforcement at scale. Podqi also helps brands identify potential licensees and recover lost revenue through licensing and enforcement actions. The product targets a quickly growing problem: the online counterfeit market exceeds $1 trillion and is expanding amid rising AI-enabled impersonation and counterfeit storefronts. Podqi says it will use new funding to accelerate product development and scale its enforcement capabilities to address evolving IP-protection challenges. The company emphasizes turning counterfeits into revenue opportunities for brands rather than solely playing defense.
