Equitybee Benchmark

Equitybee Benchmarkとは？

Equitybee Benchmark is a free startup equity benchmarking tool for employees comparing an equity grant with verified new-hire grants in Equitybee’s dataset. It provides market context across seniority, department, and company stage, covering more than 9,000 grants from 2,500 companies ranging from seed stage to pre-IPO.

To build a benchmark, users select a seniority level, department, and company-stage range. The tool is positioned for offer evaluation, promotion and compensation discussions, and assessing equity expectations when considering a new employer. Users must create a free account to view results.

The benchmark describes joining grants rather than outcomes from later liquidity events. Equitybee notes that the dataset has not been independently verified and should not be treated as representative of grants that ultimately produced successful liquidity events. The page states that its data was last updated in July 2026.
