The Opportunity
Counterfeits, impersonations, and unauthorized sales and digital piracy are no longer just compliance issues; they’ve become a $467B parallel economy shaping how brands are experienced online. Traditional enforcement methods are slow and reactive — like chasing takedowns across marketplaces and social platforms. The industry is now at an inflection point. Protecting IP must evolve into controlling every digital and physical channel where a brand lives, from TikTok videos to global e-commerce storefronts.
The Solution
MarqVision provides a comprehensive, AI-powered platform that serves as an end-to-end solution for brand control at every digital touchpoint. The platform is built on three core products that work in concert: Marq AI, which uses advanced AI to automatically detect and remove counterfeit products, pirated content, and deepfakes from over 1,500 platforms; Marq Folio, a centralized system for registering and managing trademarks; and Marq Law, which offers related legal services for enforcement actions.
MarqVision is winning in the market for two big reasons. Its technology outperforms legacy solutions — enabling takedowns 180x faster, removing 16x more infringing items, and achieving 99% accuracy. And its ability to pair market intelligence with offline insights and multilingual support makes it truly global. That’s why leading enterprises like LVMH, Lush, and Miele trust MarqVision to protect their brands globally.
Why We’re Backing MarqVision
Salesforce Ventures’ belief in MarqVision stems from the company’s visionary leadership, best-in-class product, and alignment with the Salesforce ecosystem. The company was founded by Mark Lee, a Harvard Law School graduate who launched his business out of Y Combinator. Mark has assembled a seasoned management team with executives from leading companies like Google, Chanel, and Sprinklr.
To date, MarqVision has a presence in Asia, the U.S., and Europe. Its on-the-ground talent, network, and expertise in Asia — a major epicenter for counterfeit goods — are unique and a key source of its competitive advantage. What’s more, the company is still expanding its footprint, having launched operations in the high-potential Japanese market in August.
What’s Next
The fight against digital piracy and counterfeiting is only becoming more complex, making AI-powered solutions like MarqVision essential for every global brand. With its new $48 million Series B funding, MarqVision is well-positioned to scale its technology, expand its global presence, and solidify its position as the market leader in IP protection. We envision a future where MarqVision is the indispensable, default platform for brands to manage and defend their most valuable assets online.
Salesforce Ventures looks forward to supporting MarqVision’s expansion via strategic partnerships and direct access to our customer and partner network. We’re also excited to partner with MarqVision alongside our friends at Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India & SEA), HSG, Altos Ventures, Atinum Investments, Coral Capital, Y Combinator, and other great investors.
