ACB makes the promise pay.
A rebate, a dealer ad, a salesperson’s reward: somebody has to check the details and move the money. Advertising Checking Bureau has built a business around that somebody.
Snappy
Snappy is a New York-based corporate gifting platform that flips the traditional gift on its head: instead of shipping one preselected item, a sender picks a budget and a curated collection, and the recipient chooses the gift they actually want. Founded in 2015 by Hani Goldstein and Dvir Cohen, Snappy started in personal gifting before pivoting to enterprise, and now powers employee recognition, customer loyalty, and sales incentives for thousands of companies. Its recipient-choice model, digital 'unwrapping' experience, thank-you loop, and deep HRIS integrations have made it a favorite of HR and people teams, with more than 6 million gifts delivered across 170+ countries.
SparkPlug
SparkPlug is a San Francisco-based incentive management platform that turns frontline retail and restaurant employees into a brand's most effective sales force. By integrating directly with point-of-sale systems, it automates sales contests, goals, and commissions - often funded by the brands and vendors whose products those employees sell - and pays rewards out automatically. The company works with thousands of retail locations and hundreds of brand partners, betting that the people closest to the customer are the most underused influence in physical commerce.
Andrew Duffy
Andrew Duffy is the co-founder and CEO of SparkPlug, a San Francisco software company that pays frontline retail and restaurant workers cash bonuses for the sales they actually drive. A behavioral-science nerd from Harvard who put in time at Bridgewater Associates and built a luxury whole-leaf tea brand before this, Duffy turned a teenage hot streak selling margaritas into a venture-backed platform that has routed millions of dollars in supplemental income to hourly employees and raised $11.5 million to keep going.
