Employees should review all terms, risks, and disclosures carefully.As of July 2026, Equitybee has facilitated more than $345 million in total volume and helped create more than 2,900 new shareholders across more than 900 startups.

Fast communication, great service. They are able to walk you through the entire process and always think from your perspective on what's best for you. I've tried lots of similar services and this is definitely the best. Highly recommend

Thank you for taking the time to share this! We truly appreciate your trust and are happy to hear that our communication and guidance made the process smooth. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
Sales pitch sells you into funding will be easy and you will be fully funded right away. In reality only a small percentage gets funded and you are still under contract for your shares. Your account rep then stops responding to emails and the AI chat agent just forwards your questions to the same nonresponsive account rep.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to outline your perspective. Equitybee does not guarantee funding outcomes. Participation on our platform provides employees the opportunity to seek funding based on investor interest and deal criteria, and not all contracts progress to completed funding. These considerations are communicated throughout the process. Regarding communication, our team makes multiple attempts to engage when additional information or next steps are required. Progress in the process depends on ongoing participation from both parties. We are always available to continue the conversation when a client is ready to move forward. If you would like us to review your specific situation or resume the discussion, we encourage you to contact our support team at [email protected] so we can assist accordingly.
Easiest way to get funding for stock options across all the other companies I tried. Clear and straightforward guidance from the advisor (Jake) who helped me make sure the funding made sense for me. It didn’t feel like I was getting rushed or forced into the process and they gave me a lot of support even without guarantee of business. When it came time to do the transaction, everything was seamless and smooth.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad the process felt clear, supportive, and pressure-free. Jake will be happy to hear your kind words, and we appreciate you trusting Equitybee.
Equitybee was a great option for me to access funding for my ISOs without needing to raise the money on my own or losing control of the shares themselves. They explained to entire process to me and offered me multiple options and ultimately gave me the choice of how many options I wanted to include in the funding. I was even able to access some of the pre-IPO value of my shares as cash. I had a great experience and would recommend Equitybee to others looking for pre-IPO liquidity without giving up their equity.

I contacted EquityBee couple of months to help me with exercising my options. Once I uploaded my information, that weekend itself Gorge came back with a funding offer. Then after evaluating the offer, I signed up with equitybee. Then. after they marketed my options on their investment platform, I got the a go ahead for part of the options. Then within 2weeks I got the funds i bank account. I was able to exercise my options and be an owner in my company. The whole process was very transperant and seamless. I would work with them in a heartbeat again

The process to secure funding was very well explained and follow up from the Equitybee team was very timely. I hope the settlement phase goes as smoothly but won't know that for some time yet.
