Cosa fa Compgun

Compgun is founded on the simple premise that sales commissions are simultaneously the sales organization's single biggest strategic lever and its largest expense. At previous companies, Tim and Jake were amazed by the effectiveness of sales commissions in rallying teams around new strategic priorities and business objectives. At the same time, they were shocked by how primitively commission expenses are often managed. Most businesses administer commissions with Excel and email, making it nearly impossible for sales reps or their managers to track how they are pacing throughout the month, let alone which transactions were included in a previous period’s paycheck. Compgun’s mission is to stand the status quo on it’s head by providing real-time performance tracking and insight to every member of the sales org.

Sales commission software that grows revenue

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built software that tracks and manages sales commissions in real time. Our product replaces the mess of Excel sheets and emails most companies use, so sales reps and managers can see exactly where they stand on commissions throughout the month and understand how paychecks are calculated. It gives the whole sales organization clear, immediate insight into their performance and commission expenses.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and will base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we are already located, and it is the hub for startups and customers in sales and HR software. Staying here gives us easy access to talent and prospects.
