The Equity Value Finder provides you with the estimated market value of your employee stock options. Simply input your company name (or even multiple company names!) and the number of options to discover their estimated value.
Hey startup employees! 👨💻👩💻
My name is Oren and I’m co-founder and CEO at Equitybee, alongside @oded_golan and @mody_radashkovich! We’re so excited to share Equitybee’s latest product for startup employees: the Equity Value Finder!
The Equity Value Finder empowers employees to take control of their financial future by understanding the dollar market value of their options.
🎯Our mission
When we first started Equitybee, we set out to empower startup employees. We knew that the startup system was broken and not fair for employees - they were being given stock options without any way to fund the exercise cost or leverage their value prior to an exit event. Since we embarked on this journey, we’ve successfully been able to match thousands of startup employees with our vast investor network and get them funded. And we’re not stopping there. 🏃♂️🏃♂️
With the Equity Value Finder, we’ll continue to target this broken system right at its core by educating startup employees on the dollar market value of their equity and helping them become shareholders in the companies they’ve worked so hard to build. 🏗️
🤔But how does knowing your options’ worth help? Oh, I’d be happy to explain! 😁
1️⃣Negotiate your compensation package
2️⃣Make educated decisions about your options
3️⃣Understand your potential gains and know your true net worth
And, when you hopefully decide to exercise or sell your stock options, Equitybee will be right by your side to facilitate the funding. 💸👫
We can’t wait for you to find out the worth of your options!
Oren, Oded, Mody and the entire Equitybee team
@sandiforward We're currently focusing on our main markets which are the US and Israel. With that said, you can still look up companies based in the UK.
Excited to share the launch of this valuable tool for employees. It is important for them to have access to this kind of information and I am proud to be part of the team helping to make this happen!
This product truly demonstrates Equitybee’s core mission to help startup employees take part in the success of the companies they helped build! 🎯
Extremely proud of the team for making this happen and I can’t wait to see startup employees try it out. 🙌
@dzianis_yatsenka Thank you.

@dzianis_yatsenka The Value finder aims to provide value to employees. we provide the estimated price per share so employees can use it to value their options grants. If you have the total shares the company issued you can imply the company valuation but it's not our product's main goal.
It would be funny if this tool could check any company in the world and tell the employee the price of his options, and equity.
For regrets, I'm not the target audience, but would love to support the launch. I think it's pretty great when startups emphasize work with equity. cuz startup workers take more risks than those working in FAANG. It shows the nature of cooperative culture in the company.
@leonid_mikhalev Thanks for recognizing the underlying problem we’re trying to solve for startup employees! Our mission has always been to enable these employees to take part in the success of the companies they helped build, and Equity Value Finder takes this mission one step further. By the way, our funding solution also enables eligible employees to get immediate cash in addition to the funding to exercise their options. Just another way we’re trying to help startup employees gain some control of their financial futures 😉
Congrats on the launch and upvoted. Wishing lots of success!!
When is the secondary market coming? It's great to know the value of the shares but the next step is to provide employees with an easy way to cash out on those options/shares they own. Something normally only the founders get a chance to do.
@scottmarkovits Thanks for your support! We just launched a new solution to address this. When employees use Equitybee to secure funding to exercise their options, they now have the option to receive an additional cash incentive that they can use immediately. We hope that this will allow startup employees to continue to own their shares while also “cashing in” on them now.
@r0yiki thanks for upvoting! Equitybee Estimate reflects a proprietary model using available trade data and valuations for the company’s equity combined with Equitybee’s view of market sentiment.
Great product!!
I am currently working at Ledgy ( an equity management platform) and you can't imagine how many times I have had friends asking me how they should evaluate the equity they got offered 😁
@orenbarzilai and @mody_radashkovich, congratulations on your launch! I created this 10min feedback video for y’all covering the squint test, verbatizing header copy, maintaining consistent UI, how to increase the odds of a pull-through during onboarding, and other considerations. For context, I’m a RISD / Y Combinator alum with 10yrs experience as a product designer.

I love learning how founders are thinking about design. Both to pay it forward if I can help out and because it keeps my skills sharp! If you or anyone else think you might benefit from a complimentary design audit, feel free to book a session 🙂

this is a super valuable product. as an employee, having a clear financial picture can be really challenging--thanks equitybee for putting control and insights into everyone's hands.
Love the aim towards transparency! Equity can be such a meaningful part of an overall comp package, yet employees are rarely walked through the implications or downstream monetary value before they sign a comp package.
@mprkhrst We are semi-integrated with Carta on Equitybee's main product (funding and liquidity for employees stock options). In this launch, we provided screenshots on how to get the data from Carta and we'll consider adding better integration.
