braendz Closes Pre-Seed Funding Round to Bring AI-Powered Trademark Intelligence to Market

braendz, an AI-powered trademark intelligence platform for founders, brand owners, in-house teams, and IP professionals, has completed its pre-seed funding round. The round was led by MNA Ventures and supports the company’s engineering build as it prepares to launch its first commercial solution at the end of 2026.

braendz is being built around a simple idea: take trademark data and turn it into decisions. Trademark registers contain the information businesses need to evaluate a brand, but that information is fragmented across jurisdictions, classifications, languages, and search systems and is largely designed to be used by specialists.

Oliver Poek, Founder of braendz, set out with a broader vision: to make the trademark process understandable to everyone who acts on it. Throughout his career, Poek has led the development of enterprise-scale technology projects for some of the world’s largest organizations—experience that shaped his belief that artificial intelligence could fundamentally improve how businesses approach trademark research and early-stage brand evaluation.

For businesses, choosing a brand name is more than a creative exercise—it is a strategic decision that can determine whether a company can establish, protect, and grow its identity. Before investing in branding, marketing, product development, or expansion, organizations need to understand the trademark landscape surrounding a proposed name.

Today, that process often means navigating multiple sources, reviewing extensive search results, and interpreting similarity, classifications, existing rights, and potential conflicts.
