Our Company

With a passion for solving complex problems, PILYTIX opened its doors in 2015 using artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to address issues unearthed across sales organizations.

PILYTIX was named after a unique space we sought to revolutionize: pipeline analytics.

At the helm were Hendrik Kits van Heyningen, CTO, and Jim Dries, CEO – sophisticated professionals who combined data science, software engineering, and applied mathematics with years of sales knowledge, expertise, and leadership. As the technology became more robust, our products increasingly leaned towards enhancing the performance of sales teams and our company towards providing exceptional customer service.

Today, we focus on our clients and prioritizing their changing needs — bringing solutions and building flexibility, customization, and meaningful feedback into every partnership.

By providing AI technology and other data-related solutions for sports and entertainment sales and university fundraising, we believe our success comes from the implementation of our products on behalf of our clients. As the backbone of their outreach strategy, our clients will improve their processes and make more money, faster.

Let’s Work Together!
