Founded in 2017, Equitybee is a financial technology company with a mission to empower startup employees to participate in the value they helped create. The platform addresses the challenge many employees face when their stock options are about to expire: the lack of funds to exercise them. Equitybee solves this by connecting these employees with its network of accredited investors. The investors provide the necessary capital to exercise the options and cover associated taxes in exchange for a share of the future potential value of the stock. This model allows employees to access their on-paper wealth without paying out-of-pocket, while providing investors with access to private, high-growth, venture-backed companies.
