VibeIQ started with a gap hiding in plain sight.

The people making the most important product decisions were still piecing the work together across tools, meetings, and teams. We thought there had to be a better way.

The team at VibeIQ

The same pattern kept showing up.

Before co-founding VibeIQ, Brian Lindauer spent years working with brands on product technology. Again and again, he saw capable teams surrounded by increasingly sophisticated systems, yet still relying on meetings, spreadsheets, decks, and memory to decide what should actually make the line.

The problem was not a lack of talented people or technology. The work simply did not have a system built around the way those decisions were actually made.

We believe better products start with better decisions.

The best product teams bring together creative instinct, commercial judgment, customer understanding, and years of experience. Technology should strengthen that expertise, not get in its way.

That idea still guides how we build VibeIQ today: stay close to the people doing the work, solve real operating problems, and make technology useful enough to become part of how teams actually work.

Built by people who care about the problem.

Our team brings experience across merchandising, design, product development, retail operations, enterprise technology, and PLM. Just as importantly, we like working closely with customers, asking hard questions, and turning messy real-world problems into products people genuinely want to use.

Backed for the next stage. 

In 2026, VibeIQ raised $22.5M in growth financing led by Volition Capital, with participation from Venture Guides, to keep investing in the product, team, and customers.

We measure progress by what changes for our customers.
