Portfolio company of StarLink Capital, Pole Interactive, has completed its angel round financing, reshaping the digital content ecosystem through the integration of AI and IP.

"Xinglian Capital" is a venture capital fund focusing on the large model ecosystem, emphasizing early - stage investments and connecting industries.

The digital content company "Pole Interactive Technology" centered around AI 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 creation. The founder, Yang Sheng, has participated in the production of many film and television works and has also supervised popular interactive movies and games on Steam. He has the experience of creating successful cross - border products 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 artificial intelligence technology companies in the pan - entertainment ecosystem chain.

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

Yang Sheng said that Pole Interactive is creating an efficient conversion link from low - cost computing power input to high - premium compliant digital asset accumulation, redefining the next - generation interactive 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", encapsulates the model capabilities into products for vertical scenarios, and develops 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 the professional creation end: the auxiliary tool "Drama Spirit AI" for short - drama creation and the AIGC productivity platform "Pole Vision World". After Pole Interactive opened the API interface to a leading platform, it has served more than ten thousand 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 precipitate the technology capabilities verified by the market into commercial value and reshape the commercial circulation of IP content and digital image assets through the tokenization mechanism.

In terms of rejuvenating the IP ecosystem, the logic of Pole Interactive to improve content production capacity through AI technology has been verified. The self - developed AI animated short drama "Tomorrow is Monday" launched by the company in 2025 had a total online playback volume of more than 12 million in the first month of its launch. In addition, the company has reached cooperation with multiple well - known IP parties, including Liu Cixin's "The Mirror", Happy Twist's "Goodbye Mr. Loser", Tencent's Photon Studio Group's "Peacekeeper Elite", and Eighty - Eight Culture's "The Crazy Key". Relying on AI technology, they jointly rejuvenate these classic IPs in a lightweight way and precipitate digital assets.

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 implements IP experiences in offline scenarios such as the Gansu Provincial Museum, Chengdu Cultural and 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.

The realization of technology and content commercialization is an important foundation for Pole Interactive to gain recognition from 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 emphasized by enterprises. Yang Sheng said that the company established two foundations for development at the beginning of its establishment: one is the coordinated 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 IP 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 principle of "authorized, original, and traceable". The core digital assets adopt the model of "artist's original hand - drawn + 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.

In the future, Pole Interactive will continue to focus on three directions: continuously iterate the existing AI creation tools, accelerate the R & D and launch of the "full - modal interactive narrative platform", and start the 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 creating 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 link of the content industry, and "IP" is the most extensible and long - term valuable digital asset. The Pole Interactive team has both in - depth industry knowledge and the ability to implement cutting - edge technologies. The integration model of "technology underlying + entertainment scenarios" they proposed shows us a clear path to efficiently and compliantly convert tokens into high - value IP assets.

Chunhua Venture Capital: At the critical stage of AI 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 the local to the 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.
