Facing an unexpected administrative blackout just days before my own options expired, I realized the trap.
Right now, if you need capital to exercise or access liquidity, you are forced into a corner, fighting a system alone with zero leverage.
It's time to start fighting back. We believe your pre-IPO equity is an asset funds should fight for.
Surprise administrative blackouts and strict 90-day post-termination windows can force you to forfeit your vested options before you can secure the capital to exercise them.
Without public tickers or centralized data, you have no way of knowing what your shares are actually worth. You are forced to accept whatever price a single broker or lender offers.
Institutional investors use competition to negotiate the best possible terms. Employees are left siloed, with zero ability to force funds to compete for their equity.
You securely upload your asset details. We strip your identity and prepare an institutional-grade profile to protect your privacy during the comparison process.
We route your anonymized asset profile to our network of licensed secondary funds. They submit competing terms directly to our dashboard for your review.
Review a transparent matrix of market quotes. Select the best terms and initiate a secure introduction to the partner fund of your choice. You remain in complete control.

You get the full value of the market competition we generate."
A job change or an unexpected corporate blackout can trigger a forced liquidity event. If you don't have the capital to cover the strike price and AMT taxes in time, your vested options expire. We connect you with non-recourse financing so you never lose your equity to bad timing.
Join the Waitlist & Build LeverageWe believe employees shouldn't have to pay to get a fair price for their hard-earned equity. StrikeRates is a pure information aggregator. We earn a flat lead-based fee from our licensed financial partners when we introduce them to qualified equity holders. We do not take a success fee, we do not take a cut of your equity, and we don't charge commissions. Our only goal is to provide you with the most competitive options.
Company-sponsored tender offers provide liquidity but can trigger complex tax liabilities. StrikeRates helps you compare quotes that account for tender offer tax optimization, allowing you to maximize your net payout.
We are an unbiased Information Aggregator. We provide a centralized platform where you can compare indicative quotes from multiple secondary marketplaces and financing firms simultaneously, forcing them to compete for your business.
We strip all PII (Personally Identifiable Information) before any partner sees your profile. We are an aggregator, not a broker—your identity stays with us until you select a partner of record.
