Encaptiv

Overview

Encaptiv is a comprehensive customer engagement platform designed for virtual, hybrid, and in-person presentations. It transforms passive audiences into active leads by allowing attendees to interact with presentation slides in real-time on their own devices. By unifying live polls, Q&A, and direct 'Call-to-Action' links within the presentation, Encaptiv helps speakers and event marketers capture data and drive sales directly from the stage.

What it does

• Provides an interactive slide-sharing platform for live and virtual events.
• Features real-time audience interaction including polls, quizzes, and digital hand-outs.
• Enables direct sales through embedded CTAs and booking links within slides.
• Automates lead collection and provides deep engagement analytics for speakers.

Who it's for

Why it works

• ROI: Turns a speech into a measurable lead-generation event with trackable conversion data.
• Accessibility: Attendees join the interaction via a simple URL or QR code—no app downloads required.

• Visibility: Gives organizers real-time insights into which parts of a presentation are resonating most.

Founder story

Founded in 2017 by Shannon Malkin Daniels in Stamford, Connecticut. Shannon, an author and public speaker, was frustrated by how much energy speakers spent with no way to track ROI or capture leads effectively. She built Encaptiv to 'humanize technology' and bridge the gap between speakers and their audiences.
