INFLUDEO

INFLUDEO Inc., a Seoul-based company established in 2020, operates POCA MARKET, a dedicated global recommerce platform for K-Pop photo cards. The company's inception was inspired by CEO Tony Park's observation of the passionate global K-Pop fandom at a festival in Israel, leading him and his co-founders to create a service connecting fans with artists. The founding team includes Tony Park (CEO), Jayden Choi (COO), and Steven Kang (CMO), who all participated in the Israeli Technion Program.

POCA MARKET addresses the challenges of the secondary photo card market by providing a centralized and secure trading environment. The platform functions as an intermediary for K-Pop fans worldwide, enabling them to buy and sell collectible photo cards without direct peer-to-peer communication. Its business model revolves around facilitating these transactions, where INFLUDEO manages the entire fulfillment process, including physical product inspection, storage in their logistics facility that can hold over a million cards, secure payments, and international shipping. Revenue is generated through transaction processing fees, service fees for holding and packaging items, and shipping costs.

The service is accessible via a mobile app that allows users to search an extensive database of cards, check market prices based on actual transaction data, and purchase verified items instantly. For sellers, the platform offers a consignment-like service called "stock and sell," where they can send their cards in bulk to Poca Market's warehouse, set their prices, and have the platform handle the entire sales and settlement process automatically. The platform also enhances the collector experience by offering curated content and its own merchandise, such as random packs, blending the thrill of chance with collecting.
