Success Stories

See how we connect early-stage SaaS startups with top sales leaders and executives to drive rapid revenue growth and build high-performing teams.

"We knew the [job] requirements, but the profile was hazy. Captivate’s background in early stage hires helped shape the job description and offering.

‍We ended up targeting candidates that were able to be more hands on, because that’s truly needed and defining that early on with Captivate was a huge plus."
