Our mission is to create a world in which everybody has a stake, because anyone who contributes to a company's success deserves: š„§ A slice of the pie ā½ Skin in the game We believe (as research shows) that company share schemes improve loyalty, productivity and performance. And that builds stronger businesses - driven by motivated teams. As the UK's first and most advanced share scheme platform for startups, scaleups and SMEs, we know a thing or two about share schemes! To quote one of our customers, "What Vestd doesn't know about share schemes isn't worth knowing". We make it simple for company leaders to give their teams shares or options. And not just to employees, but advisors, contractors, freelancers too, in fact, anyone who helps make a business a success. We have a ton of resources on employee share schemes and products specifically to support early-stage startups too. Vestd supports Ordinary Shares, Enterprise Management Incentives, Growth Shares, Unapproved Options, and Agile Partnershipsā¢. Customers can also digitise an existing share scheme, set up a UK limited company and apply for SEIS and EIS advance assurance. š Helped thousands of founders share equity ā Rave reviews on Capterra & G2 š„ FinTech50 2023 (TechRound) š„ Fintech Company of the Year finalist 2023 (Fintech Awards London) š„ A UK Culture Leader (Breathe HR) š„ Hottest Startup 2021 (The Europas) š„ Top Tech for Good Companies 2021 (TechRound) š„ 60+ employees š» Fully remote š UK-based To learn more about Vestd, our team or share schemes, head to our website.
