Equitybee Benchmark helps U.S. startup employees understand how their equity grants compare. Explore 9,000+ verified new-hire grants across 2,500+ startups by department, seniority, and company stage. For years, companies have benchmarked the equity they offer. Now you can benchmark yours. -- The benchmark provides market context based on Equitybee's dataset and is intended for informational purposes only. The dataset has not been independently verified. Data presented as is.
Today, we’re excited to launch Equitybee Benchmark, a free tool that lets U.S. startup employees compare equity grants by department, seniority, and company stage.
🎯 Why we built it
Companies have long used compensation benchmarks when structuring equity offers. Employees evaluating those offers rarely have access to the same market context.
We believe employees should have a benchmark too.
That context can help when evaluating a job offer, comparing opportunities, or preparing for a compensation conversation.
📊 How it works
Equitybee Benchmark is built on more than 9,000 verified new-hire option grants covering more than 2,500 U.S. startups.
Select your:
• Department • Seniority level • Company stage
So, if you’re a senior engineer evaluating an offer from a Series B startup, you can create a relevant comparison group and see the 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile, and average fair market value of grants within that group, alongside insights that help put those figures into context.
The goal is not to predict what those options may eventually be worth. It is to give employees a relevant comparison point for understanding the equity they are being offered.
Equitybee Benchmark is free and built specifically for startup employees, not their HR teams.
💬 We’d love your feedback
Explore the Benchmark and tell us: what additional information or comparisons would help you better evaluate startup equity?
Love this. It’s surprisingly hard to know whether an equity grant is actually competitive. Congrats guys, and good luck with the launch! 🚀
This is an interesting idea! It would be especially useful in instances where equity is the negotiation lever in initial salary convos
How complete is the data? I tried searching for Tripadvisor, and the service only found Tripadvisor Japan.
Congrats on the launch! I've personally seen the lack of awareness around company equity incentives so love what the team at EquityBee is building!
This is the kind of transparency the equity comp space has needed for a while. Well done!
Really interesting tool! Equity grants can be pretty difficult to compare with one another, so having more context around how a grant stacks up across companies/industries seems like a great way to assess one's position.
Congratulations on the launch :)
Are people using it more when weighing an offer, or later when deciding whether to exercise?
So proud of our team for this launch! Benchmark makes it so easy to see how your equity grant stacks up against others in your role, seniority, and stage; no more guessing if your offer is fair. Super clear, intuitive, and genuinely useful for startup employees.
Everyone here is on the employee's side of the table. From the founder's: the option pool is the line item we see modelled worst — headcount goes in as cash, equity as "free".
Any plan for the reverse lookup? Feed it an 18-month hiring plan, get the pool it takes.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Oded, co-founder and CPO at @Equitybee.
One of the things we’ve seen again and again is how little context startup employees have when it comes to their equity. You can know the number of options you were granted, but still have no idea whether that grant is actually competitive.
That’s a big part of why we built Equitybee Benchmark: to give employees access to real comparison data by department, seniority, and company stage. It’s built on 9,000+ verified new-hire grants across 2,500+ U.S. startups.
Really proud of what the team has built, and I’d love to hear what you think - especially what other data or comparisons would make this more useful for you.
When it comes to stock option grants in the startup ecosystem, the information gap is real. Startup employees (myself included) have struggled with this issue for far too long. Equitybee Benchmark was launched to promote greater transparency across the ecosystem and empower startup employees to make better-informed decisions about what can easily become their most valuable asset: their equity.
Proud to be part of this company!
Great job helping to bring transparency to the equity compensation space! Nice work!
Tried a few combinations of department, seniority, and stage. Looks good!
Are you planing to add more dimensions? industry? company valuation?
@orenbarzilai@guy_elbaz1 , This fills such a big gap to help hiring with startups a fair play where both startups and talent can negotiate a full cash + equity in a transparent and data driven way. Congrats on the launch!
Super excited to see Equitybee Benchmark live today! 🚀
It’s been really rewarding to work on this product and turn a large, complex dataset into something simple and useful for startup employees. Equity compensation can be hard to put into context, and our goal was to make it much easier to understand how your grant compares to the market.
Really proud of what the team built, and excited to hear your feedback. Give it a try and let us know what you think! 🙌
Amazing teams build amazing products! This is super valuable and helpful to startup employees.
Guy here, I lead marketing at @Equitybee and was one of the people working on this new product.
At Equitybee, our mission is to empower startup employees to participate in the success they helped build.
To deliver on that mission, we believe employees should have access to the data, knowledge, and tools they need to better understand the equity portion of their compensation.
I’m really excited to see the value this can bring to the startup builder community, and even more excited to learn from your feedback.
I’m here to answer any questions, thoughts, or concerns!
