The Moment That Changed Everything
It started with an observation about Grubhub. What looked like a helpful discovery feature was, on closer inspection, something far more sinister—and far more instructive.
“Evil genius” in plain sight
Seth Temko was reviewing restaurant advertising when he spotted it: Grubhub was buying ads targeting people who were actively searching for a specific local restaurant by name. Not for Grubhub. Not for delivery. For a restaurant that wasn't even on Grubhub.
Stealing “intent to purchase” at the last mile
The tactic was elegant and ruthless: intercept a customer who has already decided where they want to eat, redirect them through Grubhub, collect a 30% commission from the restaurant — and then charge the restaurant to get listed on the same platform stealing their customer.
If platforms can weaponize intent data — so can we
The realization wasn't anger — it was a business plan. If Grubhub could use intent-signal data at scale to outmaneuver independent restaurants, what would happen if local businesses had access to the same intelligence? What if they could fight back?
Democratizing digital paid ads
nCentiv was built to give every local store — regardless of size — access to the kind of hyper-targeted, intent-driven ad intelligence that only the best-funded platforms could previously afford. The playing field, leveled.
Our Core Values
Three commitments that guide every product decision, every partnership, and every campaign we run.
Value OneDo Good
We built this platform because we believed local businesses deserve a fair shot. Every feature, every algorithm, every optimization we ship is in service of making advertising work better for the people who need it most — not extracting more from them.
Technology should serve people, not the other way around.
Value TwoProvide Value
Results are the only currency that matters. We don't get paid unless our clients win — which means our entire incentive structure is aligned with driving real, measurable ROAS. No vanity metrics. No inflated impressions. Real revenue impact, visible in every report.
If it doesn't improve your bottom line, it doesn't belong in our platform.
Value ThreeLower Friction
Complex advertising shouldn't require a PhD. nCentiv collapses the gap between insight and action — from 300 campaigns launched in under 5 minutes to reports delivered to your inbox before you ask. Simplicity is a feature. Speed is a promise.
Every click we remove is value we return to your day.
