Benefits for VC Firms and Accelerators

Simplify how you, your clients or your portfolio companies manage equity. Deliver a suite of workplace benefits that helps empower the employees that power it all.

Tuned Into Today’s Challenges

In an evolving workplace, new challenges are a constant. Finding the right solution starts with identifying the unique problems organizations like yours are facing today.
Scaling at the Speed of Your Portfolio
A startup today could be a global brand tomorrow. As the companies you manage grow, your firm’s equity capabilities—from reporting to cap table management to the participant experience—all need to keep pace. Standalone point solutions may cover a single need, but to provide the financial benefits experience that today’s workforce demands, it takes a comprehensive solution.
Finding a Company-Wide Source of Truth
Growth can mean greater complexity, more opportunity for error and increased administrative burden, especially when managing across multiple jurisdictions. It all adds up to more time and effort from your team. Getting everyone on the same page can help improve team efficiency and let them focus on what matters: making investments that can power growth and build strong portfolios.
Private Markets Solutions
Providing Support Beyond Wealth
There’s no doubt: equity has an impact, and ownership is a key consideration across today’s talent marketplace. But that’s not where the conversation ends. Today’s employees are seeking financial benefits that can help support all facets of their financial journey, from retirement readiness to their overall financial well-being. Meeting those expectations can aid in attracting talent to your company or firm and retaining them for the long haul.
