A look at our
brand over time

As CaptivateIQ has grown, so has our brand — new extensions, publications, and events, 
all rooted in the same brand personality.

2018

CaptivateIQ was founded in 2017 by seasoned sales ops pros who believed in a better way to do commissions. By 2018, the brand 
was taking shape — fresh funding, our first paying customer, 
and our very first hire.

2019

In 2019, CIQ launched a new platform version of the product, powered by our unique SmartGrid™ modeling engine.

2022

In 2022, we launched Rep Experience and the What-If Earnings Calculator — a first for the market. We also published our first proprietary research report, the State of Incentive Compensation Management, now an annual tradition.

2025

Catalyst, our AI tool.

Where the brand lives

Our brand is more than colors, type, and a beautiful visual system (though that's definitely part of it!). It's also the living expression of our company's community — our people, our customers, and our partners.
