Easiest way to get options funding
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.

Helpful and efficient
After extensive comparison, Equitybee offered the best option for the non-recourse financing of our stock options. They were friendly, helpful, and offered very practical, real-world next steps. Their site is equally efficient and very easy to use. Time will tell (as our relationship hinges on a successful exit event), but so far, so great!
Excellent communication and support
excellent communication and support - especially in consideration for the limited time period to complete the funding.

10/10
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

Saved my expiring options
I didn’t have the cash to exercise before my options expired, and EquityBee stepped in and funded everything. Jake was fantastic throughout the process, kept me updated, and made it simple. Funds landed right when I needed them. If you’re facing expiring options with limited liquidity, I highly recommend EquityBee.

I was so impressed
I was so impressed that they have a direct link to Carta. The process was easy and Jake was fantastic in keeping me updated and explaining the process. I’m thrilled I used Equitybee over other companies as I feel I was treated like a VIP and received a better package than others would have offered.

They are organized and responsive
They are organized and responsive. They deliver the money quickly to you once they find funding for your equity options. Definitely a legit operation.
Equitybee was a great option for me
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.
