MarqVision, an AI-driven managed service platform for brand control, has raised $48 million in Series B funding, bringing its total funding to $90 million. The round was led by Peak XV Partners (formerly 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.
With this latest investment, MarqVision is advancing its mission to establish a new standard for brand control. Traditionally, brand protection focused on reacting to counterfeit products. MarqVision, however, emphasizes a forward-looking approach empowering companies to take ownership of every digital and physical touchpoint where their brand exists. In today’s environment, shaped by generative AI, counterfeits, impersonations, unauthorized sales, and piracy, brand control extends beyond protection it allows businesses to actively influence how their brand is experienced.
By combining AI agents with deep IP legal expertise, MarqVision delivers measurable business outcomes. Brands using its managed services typically report 5–10% increases in top-line revenue and justify dedicating 0.5–1% of online revenue to digital risk protection due to clear ROI. Adoption has also broadened across functions: 60% of users now come from marketing, e-commerce, and sales teams, highlighting the shift of brand control from a defensive function to a growth driver.

As part of its evolution, MarqVision has also introduced a new brand identity, reflecting its transition from anti-counterfeit enforcement to a comprehensive AI-powered solution for trust, safety, and revenue recovery. The refresh underscores its leadership in modern brand protection and long-term value creation.
The company continues to experience strong growth, with annual recurring revenue (ARR) doubling year-over-year and more than 350 global customers across industries such as fashion, luxury, beauty, gaming, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, automotive, and consumer electronics.
“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. MarqVision is making that possible by uniting AI innovation with unmatched legal expertise to give brands complete control over their presence, their reputation, and their revenue streams.”
Peak XV Leads Global Growth Push
The Series B round positions MarqVision for accelerated global expansion, particularly with Peak XV’s expertise in scaling companies across Asia and the U.S.
“MarqVision is bringing an AI-first approach to the brand protection and trust and safety industry, offering a timely solution to a challenge that has only intensified with the rise of generative AI. They have quickly established themselves as the leader in this category, working with 350 global brands to prevent counterfeits, impersonations, unauthorized sales, and digital piracy. We are thrilled to lead this round of financing, which will help accelerate their growth and cement their position as the category leader in the industry.,” said Shailendra Singh, Managing Director, Peak XV.
Salesforce Ventures also joined the round, aiming to support MarqVision’s go-to-market initiatives and product innovation. This includes integrating Salesforce data to strengthen ROI tracking and insights for brand customers. “In today’s digital economy, a brand’s intellectual property is one of its most valuable assets,” said Ken Asada, Partner at Salesforce Ventures. “As brand value becomes increasingly tied to digital presence and authenticity, we believe MarqVision is uniquely positioned to lead this next frontier of enterprise technology and we’re excited to support them on the path forward.”
Additionally, Coral Capital is backing MarqVision’s expansion into Japan, where the company has launched its first regional office to provide dedicated support to local brand clients.
Already a dominant force in Asia, MarqVision maintains offices in Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo, supported by regional legal and operational hubs that enable rapid enforcement across high-risk markets. Earlier this year, the company strengthened its global leadership team by appointing Kevin Day and Takeshi Suzuki, both veterans with over 15 years of experience at OpSec in EMEA and APAC.
Since its launch in 2020, MarqVision has built a powerful AI platform capable of detecting and removing counterfeits, piracy, and impersonation across hundreds of marketplaces and online platforms. With its expanding portfolio of services including protection against digital piracy, counterfeit trade, and grey market risks MarqVision is setting a new industry benchmark for brand control in the digital era.
