Pole Interactive Completes Angel Round Financing, Reshaping the Digital Content Ecosystem with AI + IP | Exclusive Report by 36Kr

36Kr has learned that Pole Interactive Technology, a digital content company centered around AI (hereinafter referred to as "Pole Interactive"), has completed its angel - round financing, with an amount of tens of millions of RMB. This round of investment was led by Xinglian Capital and followed by Chunhua Venture Capital. The funds will be mainly used for technology R & D, team expansion, and IP commercial development, comprehensively accelerating the company's strategic layout of the multi - modal pan - entertainment ecosystem.

Pole Interactive was founded in 2025 and is a technology company focusing on the "AI + IP" integration model. Its core business is to deeply apply the capabilities of large AI models to the development, operation, and derivative links of IP through its self - developed technology platform, improving the efficiency of the entire chain.

The company's core team brings together talents from multiple fields such as AI, film and television production, and digital content production. The founder, Yang Sheng, has participated in the production of many film and television works and has also supervised popular interactive video games on Steam. He has the experience of cross - border product creation and the ability to implement business.

It is worth mentioning that Zhipu AI has carried out in - depth cooperation with Pole Interactive in multiple fields such as large models, AI tools, and content production. Pole Interactive is also expected to become an important member of the artificial intelligence technology enterprises in the pan - entertainment ecosystem chain.

In terms of technology, Pole Interactive breaks through the conventional technology invocation level. By seamlessly transforming the underlying computing power into interactive productivity, based on the integration model of "technology foundation + entertainment scenarios", it deeply integrates the top - tier model bases such as Zhipu and Shengshu.

Yang Sheng said that Pole Interactive is creating a high - efficiency conversion link from low - cost computing power investment to the accumulation of high - premium compliant digital assets, redefining the next - generation interactive entertainment experience.

AI + IP: Redefining the Next - Generation Entertainment Experience

Pole Interactive's core capabilities are built on its self - owned large models. The company advances along the path of "model - product - platform", encapsulating model capabilities into products for vertical scenarios, and exploring new AI application - layer products and gameplay, such as multi - modal interactive entertainment and digital asset operation.

Currently, the team has launched two core products for professional creators: the auxiliary tool "Drama Spirit AI" for short - drama creation and the AIGC productivity platform "Pole Vision World". After Pole Interactive opened its API interface to a leading platform, it has served over 10,000 creators in a single month. On this basis, based on tool accumulation and model iteration, Pole Interactive is exploring a new multi - modal narrative method. The upcoming "Full - Modal Interactive Narrative Platform" will transform the market - verified technical capabilities into commercial value and reshape the commercial circulation of IP content and digital image assets through the Tokenization mechanism.

Pole Drama Spirit

In terms of revitalizing the IP ecosystem, the logic of Pole Interactive to increase content production capacity through AI technology has been verified. The self - developed AI short - animation drama "Monday Tomorrow" launched by the company in 2025 had a total online playback volume of over 12 million in the first month of its launch. In addition, the company has reached cooperation agreements with multiple well - known IP holders, including "The Mirror" by Liu Cixin, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" by Mahua FunAge, "Peacekeeper Elite" by Tencent Photon Studio Group, and "The Crazy Key" by Eighty - Eight Culture. Relying on AI technology, they jointly carry out lightweight revitalization and digital asset precipitation of these classic IPs.

In terms of commercial implementation, Pole Interactive has built a diversified revenue system of "online + offline + derivatives": First, it provides in - depth technical services to leading platforms such as Tencent, Baidu, and ByteDance; Second, it brings the IP experience to offline scenarios such as the Gansu Provincial Museum, Chengdu Cultural Tourism, and Shanghai Caohejing, creating immersive integration experience projects online and offline; Third, it explores derivative fields such as game - based development and character licensing to expand the full - cycle value of IP.

Pole IP Cooperation Matrix

The realization of technology and content commercialization is an important foundation for Pole Interactive to gain the recognition of capital and the market. In the wave of the AI era, while the rapid iteration of technology is important, issues such as copyright compliance and data security also need to be taken seriously by enterprises. Yang Sheng said that at the beginning of its establishment, the company set two development foundations: one is the collaborative iteration of technology and data, and the other is the underlying design of copyright compliance.

On the technology side, based on the technology base of Zhipu AI, Pole Interactive can deeply integrate cutting - edge AI capabilities into pan - entertainment scenarios, greatly improving the work efficiency of models in the field of professional content creation. Relying on the high - quality content precipitated by self - owned IPs to form a high - quality data set, it drives the continuous iteration of models through the "data flywheel" effect, maintaining a leading creative ability.

On the compliance side, the company adheres to the principles of "authorized, original, and traceable". The core digital assets adopt the model of "artist - original hand - painted + AI efficiency improvement" to avoid copyright risks from the source, and build a moat for the "AI + IP" model with high - quality and high - value IP assets.

Pole's Self - developed AI Short - Animation Drama "Monday Tomorrow"

In the future, Pole Interactive will continue to focus on three directions: continuously iterating its existing AI creation tools, accelerating the R & D and launch of the "Full - Modal Interactive Narrative Platform", and initiating an overseas expansion plan.

"The long - term goal of the company is to explore the digital asset mechanism represented by the Token economy and apply it to global IP operation, providing a technical foundation and business framework for the next - generation interactive entertainment experience." Yang Sheng said.

The following are the messages from the investors:

Li Wenjue, a partner of Xinglian Capital, said: In the AI image/video generation application track, on the surface, it is about content tools, but in essence, it is about competing for the production, operation, and distribution rights of the next - generation IP. AI is reshaping every aspect of the content industry, and "IP" is the digital asset with the most extensibility and long - term value. The Pole Interactive team has both in - depth industry knowledge and the ability to implement cutting - edge technologies. The "technology foundation + entertainment scenarios" integration model they proposed shows us a clear path to efficiently and compliantly transform tokens into high - value IP assets.

Chunhua Venture Capital: At the critical stage when AI is moving from technological breakthrough to large - scale commercial application, Pole Interactive has not only verified its content production efficiency and market acceptance through AI short dramas but also demonstrated the scarce capabilities of "IP acquisition and operation" and "online - offline integration implementation", building a complete and mature business model. From tools to platforms, from local to global, its strategic layout is forward - looking. We believe that this composite team that understands content, technology, and business is expected to define a new paradigm for IP development and consumption in the AI era on a global scale.
