FOR EMPLOYEES
Your equity, finally
visible
You earned it; you should be able to see it. Vquity gives every employee a private, passwordless window onto their own grant: shares vested, the next event, estimated value, and the documents behind it all, plus a free Academy that teaches you what it means.
What actually matters
Equity is probably your largest number you can't see. Fix that.
For most startup employees, options are the biggest part of compensation and the least understood. Vquity gives you your own window onto your own numbers, and the education to read them.
Your vesting, live
The My Equity portal shows your grant, the exact shares vested to date, the next vesting event, and your estimated value, computed from the company's real ledger, not a stale spreadsheet copy.
Accept in minutes, keep the proof
Your grant arrives as a public link: review the terms, accept online, and a signed PDF lands on the record. No account to create, nothing to install, and "did I ever accept?" has a dated answer forever.
Learn it, free
The Equity Academy teaches what a cliff is, why the strike price matters, and how dilution works, in plain language with worked numbers. Start with equity for employees.
On your phone
Open the app. See your equity grow.
The mobile experience puts your grant in your pocket: the vesting ring, the next event, your estimated value and its trend. Equity stops being a mystery line in an offer letter and becomes a number you watch grow with the company you're building.
- Vesting progress and the next event at a glance
- A notification when new shares vest
- The same live company data as the web portal, nothing to sync
Your paper trail
Every document about your equity, in one place you can reach.
Your signed grant PDF, your exercise paperwork, your tax view: the Documents tab of your portal keeps your equity paper where you can find it at 11pm before a mortgage application, without emailing anyone.
- Six portal views: stocks, options, SAFEs, activity, documents, and tax
- An offline cache keeps your last-loaded view readable anywhere
- Your activity feed shows every equity event on your record, dated
The three questions every employee should ask
How many shares, out of how many? 40,000 options means nothing without the denominator. Your percentage of the fully diluted total is the number that matters; the reading a cap table lesson shows you how to compute it.
What's my strike, against what valuation? Your gain is the spread between the strike price on your grant and what shares are worth. The portal shows both, and the vesting lesson explains the schedule that unlocks them.
What happens if I leave? Post-termination exercise windows are where employees lose equity by accident. Your grant record carries its terms, and the alerts sweep means the company can't quietly forget your window either.
One honest note: exercising your options runs through the company's admin-side approval queue, not a self-serve button, because an exercise changes the cap table and has tax consequences worth a deliberate review. Your portal tells you exactly what you've vested; the exercise itself is a conversation with your company, made faster because both of you are looking at the same record.
On the roadmap
Where the employee experience goes next.
Planned work, stated as plans.
Vesting notifications
A push notification the day new shares vest, and ahead of your cliff, so the milestones of your equity journey never pass silently.
Exercise cost preview
A calculator inside your portal showing what exercising would cost at today's strike and FMV, so the leave-or-stay math is yours to run privately.
Value over time
Your estimated value charted across rounds, so you can see what each financing did to the worth of what you hold.
Frequently asked questions
My company uses Vquity. How do I see my equity?
Your company issues you a private portal link. Open it, confirm your email, and enter the one-time code that arrives (it expires in 10 minutes and sign-in is rate-limited). Inside are six views of your own position: stocks, options, SAFEs, activity, documents, and tax. No account, no password.
Is what I see in the portal accurate?
It's computed server-side from the same ledger the company runs its cap table on, at the moment you load it. There is no copy that can drift: if the company closes a round or your monthly tranche vests, your view reflects it.
How do I accept my option grant?
Through a public, tokenized link your company sends: review the terms, accept online, and a signed grant PDF is generated and filed on your grant record. The acceptance event is logged with a date, so there's never a question later about whether you accepted.
Can I exercise my options from the portal?
Not self-serve, and we say so plainly. Exercises change the cap table and carry tax consequences, so requests are entered and approved on the company's side in a dedicated queue, as one atomic operation. Your portal shows exactly what you've vested so that conversation starts from shared numbers.
I don't understand my offer's equity component. Where do I start?
The free Equity Academy, no signup needed. Start with 'equity for employees', then 'vesting explained' for cliffs and schedules, and 'reading a cap table' to understand the denominator behind your percentage. An hour of reading puts you ahead of most offer negotiations.
