Taz Patel

Taz Patel is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of CaptivateIQ, an enterprise sales commission software provider based in San Francisco, California. Prior to establishing the firm in 2017, he worked in private equity and operations, where he identified the widespread inefficiencies associated with manual incentive compensation tracking. Under his executive leadership, CaptivateIQ has scaled significantly, growing to process more than $3 billion in sales commissions annually for tens of thousands of users. Patel successfully guided the company to a $1.25 billion valuation after securing a $100 million Series C funding round in early 2022. He has raised over $164 million in total capital from recognizable institutional investors, including Sequoia Capital, Accel, and ICONIQ Growth. His current focus remains on expanding CaptivateIQ's market share and enhancing its automated financial technology platform for global revenue teams.
