About

CaptivateIQ is a no-code incentive compensation management (ICM) platform that enables sales operations and finance teams to design, automate, and manage sales commission plans — replacing spreadsheet-based commission calculations with a flexible rules engine that handles complex plan logic, provides real-time commission visibility for sales reps, and ensures accurate, auditable payouts. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, CaptivateIQ raised approximately $140 million including a $100 million Series C, becoming one of the leading venture-backed ICM platforms for mid-market and enterprise SaaS companies.\n\nCaptivateIQ's platform connects to CRM systems (Salesforce) and financial data sources to automatically pull the deal and performance data needed for commission calculation. The no-code plan builder allows revenue operations managers to configure complex quota attainment rules, accelerators, SPIFFs (special performance incentive funds), and multi-tier commission structures without engineering support. Sales reps get real-time visibility into their commission pipeline — seeing what they've earned, what deals are in progress, and what they need to close to hit accelerators — which reduces commission disputes and improves sales performance motivation.\n\nIn 2025, CaptivateIQ competes in the sales compensation management market with Spiff (acquired by Salesforce), Xactly (the market leader for enterprise ICM), Performio, and Varicent for commission automation software. Sales compensation errors cost companies significant money and trust — manual spreadsheet processes frequently have errors that result in over or underpayment, and disputes cost management time. The mid-market SaaS segment (50-1,000 person sales teams) is CaptivateIQ's sweet spot, where plan complexity exceeds what spreadsheets handle but Xactly's enterprise pricing is hard to justify. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing enterprise accounts, adding AI-powered compensation plan design recommendations, and expanding analytics for compensation strategy optimization.

About

Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
