Podqi

Podqi envisions a future where brand protection transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly integrating AI to safeguard digital assets and intellectual property across an increasingly complex online landscape. We exist to empower brands to reclaim control over their creations, ensuring that innovation and creativity are preserved and rewarded in the digital age.

By harnessing cutting-edge artificial intelligence, Podqi transforms enforcement from a reactive, labor-intensive process into a proactive, automated strategy that detects, prioritizes, and neutralizes infringements at scale. Our platform not only removes counterfeits with unprecedented efficiency but also converts challenges into opportunities for revenue recovery, redefining how digital rights are protected worldwide.

At Podqi, we are building an ecosystem where technology meets justice—where every infringement, no matter how sophisticated, is met with swift, strategic action. Our mission is to turn IP enforcement into a seamless, revenue-generating operation that upholds the value of originality and fuels sustainable growth for brands everywhere.

When we first encountered Podqi, we were skeptical of yet another AI-powered platform making big promises. But after diving deep into their approach to brand protection, we're genuinely impressed by how they're revolutionizing what's traditionally been a painful, manual process for companies.

A Fresh Take on Brand Protection

What caught our attention is Podqi's clever pivot from treating IP protection as a cost center to turning it into a revenue driver. Their AI doesn't just spot counterfeits — it prioritizes them based on actual revenue impact and automates the entire enforcement process. It's like having a tireless digital brand guardian that knows exactly where to focus its energy.

Speed That Makes a Difference

The platform's ability to execute one-click takedowns across 7,800+ platforms is genuinely game-changing. We're talking about reducing enforcement time by up to 90% — that's the difference between playing whack-a-mole with counterfeiters and actually getting ahead of the problem.

Their smart pattern recognition for identifying repeat offenders is particularly impressive, as it helps brands stay one step ahead of sophisticated counterfeiters who often play cat-and-mouse games across different platforms.

Where It Really Shines

The settlement automation feature stands out as a unique offering. Instead of just removing infringing content, Podqi helps brands recover lost revenue through automated settlement processes. It's a brilliant way to turn the tables on counterfeiters while adding to the bottom line.

However, where we see the most value is in their ROI calculation system. In a field where success metrics can be fuzzy, Podqi's ability to show direct revenue impact from enforcement actions gives brands clear visibility into their protection efforts.

Who Should Consider It

While Podqi's solution would benefit any brand fighting counterfeits, we think it's particularly valuable for companies dealing with high-volume infringement across multiple channels. With the global counterfeit market exceeding $1 trillion, their automated approach seems perfectly timed for brands looking to scale their protection efforts without scaling their teams.
