Krishna Subramanian and Sunil Verma found Captiv8 in San Mateo, raising seed funding in April 2016, and build subscription software with a network of 15 million creators that brands use to run and measure campaigns across 120 countries. Publicis Groupe acquires the company on May 21, 2025 for undisclosed terms and pairs it with Influential and Epsilon's identity data to form a single influencer marketing offering. The founding year is not confirmed.
