Show HN: Vest.fyi – equity calculator shows range of outcomes and benchmarks

https://vest.fyi/
1•egyptianblue•1h ago
Hi everyone,

Employees evaluating startup offers or working at startups face some unique challenges in terms of understanding and evaluating their equity. I’ve had to learn this the hard way.

I’m building a platform to help employees evaluate their startup equity (offered or accepted). Two current features: 1. A probabilistic outcome model for your equity offer. Loosely based on real public data, the point is to treat it as a framework with which to visualize the possible range of outcomes, rather than a prediction 2. Benchmark your offer against other offers in the same role x company stage

It’s not necessary to submit an offer to use it, and no company or personal info is saved for saved offers - benchmarking is done by role x stage only.

My long term vision is to build a community-based platform where user-submitted offers can build a dataset to help employees evaluate their offers.

Another long term idea is to incorporate equity tracking over time for employees that are actively working at startups.

Would love to hear feedback on the product or any specific features you would like to see. Would especially love to hear about any pain points that those evaluating startup offers or those who have accepted and are tracking equity over time are facing.

Thanks!

Alex from vest here - as someone who’s worked at a startup and is evaluating new ones in this current era, my goal is to build a helpful platform for others who are in the same position. Let me know what challenges you’ve faced with your equity
