Owning stock options at a startup company can potentially lead to a life-changing financial opportunity. Wherever employees are negotiating compensation, considering a new job offer, or simply planning a financial future, understanding the market value of a significant part of compensation is crucial. However, today, startup employees simply don't know the value of personal stock options so employees mostly rely on guesses and sometimes false hopes.
Equitybee aims to fix this problem by providing startup employees with the estimated market value of personal stock options and funding solutions. With the mission of empowering employees, the launch of Equitybee's latest product is an extension of the company's commitment to helping startup employees realize the full potential and value of personal options.
How Equity Value Finder Works
To get started, users will need to sign up to Equitybee's platform.
Next, users will enter the number of personal shares/options.
The Equity Value Finder will provide a market value estimate, based on Equitybee's proprietary model of multiple sources of trade data, valuations, and market sentiment. After submitting the number of options, the employee will see personal equity value, including any funding opportunities available through the platform.
Knowing one's stock options' value is crucial in general, and even more in a market downturn. Startup employees should always be aware of the value of stock options and potentially seek expert advice when needed to navigate the complexities of the market.
"We are thrilled to launch Equity Value Finder, which provides startup employees with the transparency and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their stock options. Big tech public companies' employees have clear visibility to the value of their stock grants, why should private startup employees be different? For the first time we are providing startup employees with the estimated market value of their stock options," said Oren Barzilai, Co-Founder & CEO of Equitybee. "Our mission has always been to empower employees to participate in the success of the companies they helped build, and Equity Value Finder is an extension of that commitment. With this product, employees can learn the market value of their options and take control of their financial future with ease, and transparency. We believe that in times of uncertainty, it's more important than ever for employees to know their equity value and plan for the future, and we're proud to be a part of that process."
