EquityBee’s early pitch deck captures the founders’ vision of empowering startup employees to exercise their stock options by providing them with the financial resources they need. Recognizing that many employees struggle to afford the cost of exercising their options, EquityBee set out to create a platform that connects them with investors who fund the exercise in exchange for a share of future profits. The deck highlights the market need for a solution that helps employees realize the value of their equity, the unique model that makes EquityBee stand out, and the strategies that would help it become a key player in the equity compensation space, enabling more employees to participate in the success of the startups they help build.
