Los Angeles - Sep 15, 2025 (UTC) - MarqVision, the AI-powered managed service platform for brand control, announced its Series B funding round of $48 million, bringing its total funding to date to $90 million. The round was led by Peak XV Partners, formerly known as Sequoia Capital India & SEA, with participation from Salesforce Ventures, HSG, Coral Capital, Michael Seibel (Partner Emeritus of Y Combinator), and returning investors Y Combinator, Altos Ventures, and Atinum Investment.
The Los Angeles-headquartered startup, founded in 2021 by Harvard Law graduate Mark Lee, uses artificial intelligence and computer vision technology to combat counterfeiting and trademark infringement across digital platforms. The company serves more than 350 customers worldwide across industries ranging from fashion and luxury to gaming, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, automotive, and consumer electronics.
MarqVision has demonstrated strong financial performance, reaching $1 million in annual recurring revenue within eight months, $10 million in three years, and recently crossing $20 million ARR after four years. The company has doubled its revenue annually along the way and targets $100 million ARR by mid-2027.
“We’ve reached a moment where AI-powered brand control is no longer optional; it’s the foundation for sustainable growth,” said Mark Lee, Founder and CEO of MarqVision. “The most valuable companies in the world will be the ones that can own and control their IP and brand perception at every touchpoint.”
“Our goal is $100 million ARR by mid-2027. Growth could have been faster, but we prioritized two things: delivering the best customer experience and building a scalable AI-driven foundation. As a managed service, we can monetize many offerings, but everything ties back to one core promise — helping global brands control their digital presence and grow revenue,” Lee added.
The fresh capital will be deployed strategically: roughly half will expand AI and engineering teams to accelerate automation and integrate generative AI across the product suite, $10 million will make the platform enterprise-ready as the company moves upmarket to target larger brands, and an additional $10 million will fund regional expansion. Already active in the U.S., Korea, China, and Europe, MarqVision is now entering the Japanese market.
“Increasingly, top-tier investors are looking for technology companies that leverage AI not just to enhance productivity, but to fundamentally transform service delivery. AI is expanding the total addressable market for software from efficiency tools into the execution of the work itself — unlocking a market opportunity of over $10 trillion,” Lee explained.
The company has evolved from its initial focus on fighting counterfeits to helping brands directly recover lost revenue, with many clients reporting approximately 5% boosts in sales. MarqVision’s platform addresses what the company calls a $3 trillion global counterfeiting market that grows 20% annually, particularly as commerce increasingly moves online and across social media platforms.
