Intro
Our mission at Notice is to level the playing field for all private market participants. One important way we do that is to help startup employees, many of whom have told us that they struggle with how to value their startup equity and find liquidity.
Our initial response to this challenge was two fold:
We launched Notice Portfolio Equity Tracker for employees to easily value their equity grants (options and RSUs) using Notice Price, the most accurate pricing in the private markets.
We launched Notice Liquidity, which enables anyone to post “indications of interest” in buying and selling specific stocks to selected brokers based on their verified trade history, including their options and RSUs.
We really appreciate all the positive feedback we have received about these tools, and we are proud that they are helping you achieve your financial goals. If you find Notice to be a valuable tool for startup employees, please invite your friends to join!
Wait, there's more!
We hope you've been able to check out our recently launched Notice Rankings! Seven different dynamic rankings pulled from our database of over 6,000 private companies using criteria highly relevant to Notice members and based on the most accurate and most current private market data available.
One Notice Ranking particularly relevant to startup employees with equity grants is the Riskiest Common Stock Ranking. This is a ranking of private companies with the lowest Coverage Ratio, a measure of a company's ability to return capital to common shareholders in certain exit scenarios at the current market cap.
When a company's Coverage Ratio is near or below 100%, we advise you to proceed with caution when valuing the company's common stock due to the increased risk that the company is unable to return capital to common shareholders in non-IPO exit scenarios at the current market cap.
