PopCom

PopCom is an AI-powered automated retail technology company founded by e-commerce entrepreneur Dawn Dickson. Its flagship product, the PopShop, is a robotic self-service kiosk that dispenses physical and digital products while capturing customer data through computer vision, facial recognition, and real-time analytics. The platform gives brands and entrepreneurs the kind of sales metrics, inventory monitoring, targeted advertising, and customer-sentiment insight that online retailers enjoy, but for physical, unattended retail. PopCom sells its hardware on an annual lease with a monthly software subscription. It was added to the API Evangelist network as a Techstars portfolio company; as of this enrichment pass PopCom publishes no public developer platform, API, or specification.
