We built this because we lived it.
StrikeRates is technology and information infrastructure for private-market equity decision workflows. We exist because employees with legitimate equity claims deserve the same data access that institutional investors take for granted.
I built StrikeRates because I lived the rug-pull. Facing an unexpected administrative blackout just days before my own options expired, I realized the trap that most employees never see coming.
If you need capital to exercise or access liquidity, you are forced into a corner. You are fighting a system alone, with zero leverage, no centralized data, and no way of knowing what your shares are actually worth. You are forced to accept whatever analysis a single broker or lender offers.
Institutional investors use data-driven infrastructure to negotiate the best possible outcomes. Employees are left siloed, with zero access to the analytics needed to make informed equity decisions. That is the gap StrikeRates fills.
Equity Intelligence
Advanced analytics covering option value, strike prices, vesting schedules, AMT exposure, tax implications, and equity timing risk.
Liquidity Provider Directory
A structured, searchable index of every meaningful liquidity path available to pre-IPO equity holders. Fees, structures, and approval requirements surfaced clearly.
Liquidity 101 →
Plain-language guides to every pre-IPO liquidity vehicle, from ISOs and NSOs to non-recourse financing, variable prepaid forwards, tender offers, and secondary sales. Built so employees can understand their options before talking to anyone trying to sell them something.
Signal Infrastructure
An API layer that delivers anonymized, standardized equity signals to institutional funds, creating structured deal flow without brokering transactions.
