What We Do

Intellimize intelligently optimizes each buyer’s path to drive more revenue, more customers, and more leads from websites. We helped Drift increase leads to sales by 322%, and helped Dermalogica achieve 100% lift on adding items to cart with subscriptions.

Our unique solution enables experimentation and personalization at an unparalleled scale, and it replaces traditional approaches to optimization such as A/B testing and rules-based personalization. These methods are too slow, require daily attention, and don’t automatically adapt to changes in behavior over time. Intellimize is simple to deploy and far easier to run. Plus, it is fully supported by optimization experts and web developers that guide and implement your campaigns.

The company was founded in 2016 by an experienced ad tech marketer and two experienced machine learning experts who had previously worked at Yahoo, Twitter, and BrightRoll. Intellimize is headquartered in San Mateo, CA and backed by leading early-stage investors including Addition, Amplify Partners, Homebrew, and Precursor Ventures.
