Our take
CaptivateIQ is an incentive compensation platform using AI to automate commission workflows. Businesses spent an exorbitant amount each year managing commission processes, so the company's no-code SaaS is a welcome overhaul for the sector.
CaptivateIQ's platform improves both the efficiency and accuracy of existing legacy processes, serving any type of organization that utilizes a performance-based compensation plan. The founding team has real experience with the cumbersome process of managing commission payments, which is why they chose to target this particular problem.
CaptivateIQ has been smart in building a more generic product, allowing it to attract big-name clients from different sectors. This broad customer acquisition, atop regular funding injections, has helped CaptivateIQ reach Unicorn status. The company continues to add to its offering, for example with the launch of its AI-powered payee experience in 2025.
