Derq

In 2009, beqom's founders identified a critical gap in the market: there was no comprehensive solution for total compensation management. Traditional compensation tools were built for in-office, siloed operations and failed to meet the complex needs of global enterprises navigating multiple jurisdictions, currencies, and compliance requirements. So they built beqom - a unified platform designed to handle every aspect of compensation and performance. From that initial insight, beqom has evolved into a high-growth B2B SaaS powerhouse powered by Intentional AI. Today, the company serves over 5 million employees across more than 40 S&P 500 companies, including global giants like PUMA, Allianz, Total Energies, and Mercedes-Benz. The platform enables HR and business leaders to navigate complex global compliance landscapes, make data-driven pay decisions, and build equitable, transparent compensation strategies that attract and retain top talent.

Burq exists to solve the fundamental complexity of last-mile delivery, where businesses still stitch together carriers, manual tools, and reactive exception handling just to keep orders moving.

With Burq, teams can quote and select optimal delivery options per order, orchestrate dispatch across in-house and third-party fleets, automate routing and batching decisions, resolve exceptions like reroutes instantly, send brand-safe customer updates, and access performance insights that make reliability and cost drivers transparent. Built for enterprise and high-growth operators across grocery, floral, specialty retail, pharmacy, and restaurant sectors, Burq turns what was once a chaotic multi-provider operation into a single, standardized workflow that scales nationwide. Founded in 2021 and backed by Village Global (whose LPs include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman, and Sara Blakely), Burq is delivering on the promise that modern logistics should be intelligent, automated, and relentlessly reliable.
