MarqVision Closes $48M Series B to Expand AI-Powered Brand Protection Globally

MarqVision, the Los Angeles–based startup using AI to combat counterfeiting and trademark infringement, has closed a $48M Series B round, bringing total funding to nearly $90M. The financing was led by Peak XV Partners with participation from Salesforce Ventures, HSG, Coral Capital, and Michael Seibel, alongside returning investors Y Combinator, Altos Ventures, and Atinum Investment.

Founded in 2021 by Mark Lee, MarqVision applies computer vision and generative AI to detect and remove counterfeit goods across e-commerce, social media, and marketplaces. Serving over 350 global brands in sectors including fashion, gaming, pharmaceuticals, and consumer electronics, the company has grown to more than $20M ARR and is targeting $100M by 2027.

The new funding will accelerate AI development, scale enterprise capabilities, and drive international expansion into Japan and other regions. By advancing from counterfeit detection to revenue recovery and brand intelligence, MarqVision positions itself as an AI-led services platform for global IP and brand management.
