Digiphy is a SaaS company based in an undisclosed location that provides a QR marketing platform designed to transform physical product packaging into digital portals for supply chain traceability and sustainability information. The platform enables consumer packaged goods brands to integrate page building, QR technology, and third-party tools to share transparent product origin details, helping to mitigate industry concerns regarding corporate greenwashing. The company primarily targets the retail and e-commerce sectors, securing early adoption from food industry customers such as Niceland Seafood to verify their supply chains. Following its participation in the Techstars Farm to Fork accelerator program, the enterprise raised $2.5 million in pre-seed funding from a syndicate of venture capital firms including M13, LightShed Ventures, and Silicon Road Ventures. Digiphy was founded in 2021 by Sarah Wagman Ellenbogen, Chris Scott, and Sami Fishbein.

Digiphy is a SaaS platform that digitizes physical packaging and marketing assets using QR codes and mobile-first landing pages to enable immersive brand-consumer engagement, first-party data collection, and contextual storytelling.[1][2][3] It serves retail, direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands, agencies, and enterprises by solving the challenge of limited product information on labels, turning static packaging into dynamic channels for offers, recipes, tutorials, feedback, reordering, and traceability data.[1][2][4] With venture backing from Techstars, M13, LightShed Ventures, and Silicon Road Ventures, plus accolades like a 2022 Fast Company World Changing Idea and 2023 Entrepreneurship World Cup win, Digiphy demonstrates strong early growth through scalable plans starting at $15/month and integrations with tools like Klaviyo.[2][4]
Digiphy was founded in 2021 in Los Angeles, California, by Sarah Ellebogen (CEO) and a team with over 60 years of collective experience from Google, YouTube, and Disney in digital transformation, business development, sales, and scalable tech solutions.[1][2][3] Ellebogen, with 14 years at Google and YouTube building key advertising partnerships, identified the "last frontier" of digitizing product packaging amid privacy shifts and intermediary barriers in retail (where 95% of sales occur).[3] The idea emerged from a mission to transparently share product origin, traceability, and sustainability info, evolving into a broader connected packaging platform as brands sought deeper customer relationships.[2][3]
Digiphy rides the wave of connected packaging and Ad Tech trends, capitalizing on consumer demand for transparency in sustainability, traceability, and product stories amid regulatory pressures and privacy changes like cookie deprecation.[1][2][3] Timing aligns with retail's 95% in-store/e-tail dominance and the shift to first-party data, positioning QR-enabled packaging as a direct, permissioned channel in a $4,236-company Ad Tech space and growing in-store retail tech (1,775 firms).[1][3] It influences the ecosystem by revitalizing IRL retail for D2C brands, integrating with existing stacks for holistic analytics, and empowering smaller players against intermediaries, akin to packaging tech peers but with superior storytelling scalability.[1][3][4]
Digiphy is poised to expand as QR marketing matures into a standard for physical-digital fusion, with trends like AI-driven personalization, GS1 EPCIS adoption for traceability, and rising sustainability mandates fueling demand.[2][5] Next steps likely include deeper enterprise integrations, global scaling beyond the US, and AI enhancements for chat/surveys, building on venture momentum to capture more of the packaging tech market.[2][4] Its influence could evolve from niche innovator to ecosystem enabler, redefining how brands turn every product into a "connected store" and sustaining growth in a data-scarce world—echoing its core promise of going beyond the label.[3]
