Our story

We are the infrastructure.
You are the brand on top.

IRCODE was founded by Matty Beckerman, a filmmaker who spent twenty years watching audiences fall in love with content the industry couldn't measure. The technology — patented computer vision AI — was invented by Philipp Holzschneider, a German engineer whose drone-vision background let him solve a seventy-year problem: making any image identifiable, anywhere it appears.

Who we are

A team of builders, thinkers, and curious minds from across industries — engineers, designers, marketers, and artists. Some of us come from film sets and music tours, others from ad agencies and tech startups. What we share is a belief in the power of visuals and a desire to make them do more.

Our mission

To make the visual world interactive. To bridge digital and physical spaces in a way that feels seamless and intuitive — and to give brands, creators, and everyday users the tools to turn any moment into something meaningful, scannable, and alive.

Leadership

The team building visual commerce.
