Half of all salespeople rely on commission-based pay, yet these agreements are often tracked in outdated Excel files, causing delays, frustration, and a lack of transparency.

That’s exactly the problem Driven addresses. Launched in June, the platform provides sales reps with real-time visibility of their goals and earned commissions, while enabling managers to set targets and rewards collaboratively using live and historical data. This optimizes commission use and drives stronger sales performance.

Managers also gain a complete view of how targets and commissions impact profitability. The AI assistant analyzes financials, CRM data, and industry benchmarks, helping teams fine-tune plans in real time and keep expectations aligned across the organization.

Ludovic Diercxsens, CEO of Driven, explains: Driven is the tool that motivates sales teams through smart incentives. You immediately see how a reward impacts a salesperson’s drive. By making goals visible and dividing them fairly, everyone in the company knows exactly what they’re working toward. That clarity instantly lifts motivation.

Driven tackles more than just pay transparency it also solves the widespread issue of poor CRM data quality.

The funding round was led by Pitchdrive, with backing from Newschool VC and notable members of Ghent’s tech community, including Jeroen de Wit (Teamleader), Gilles Mattelin, Jorn Vanysacker, Wouter Van Respaille (Henchman), Matthias Geeroms (Lighthouse), and several other prominent investors.

With this new funding, the founders plan to accelerate product development and drive further business growth.
