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.

@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!
One of the biggest challenges with startup equity is that employees often have very little context for understanding how their grant compares.
That’s exactly why we built Equitybee Benchmark.
We’ve taken a complex set of inputs, data points, and comparison dimensions and turned them into an experience that feels simple, clear, and useful.
Now every startup employee can explore how their equity compares by role, seniority, and company stage.
Take it for a spin and let us know what you think. We’d love to hear your feedback and what you’d like to see next
Super excited to launch Equitybee Benchmark today! 🎉
Leveling the playing field for startup employees has always been at the heart of what we do at Equitybee. Having real, verified data to help people navigate offer letters or equity negotiations is a huge milestone.
Huge congrats to the team! Take it for a spin and let us know your thoughts!
I work at Equitybee, so I am biased, but this is the tool I wish existed years ago. I spend my days inside cap tables, and the one question employees can never answer is "how does my grant actually compare?" Companies have had that market context forever. Employees have not. Benchmark closes that gap: pick your department, seniority, and company stage and you see the real distribution, not a vague market median. Built from more than 9,000 verified grants.
