Creating an effective compensation plan can feel like a juggling act. It’s not just keeping up with ever-changing market rates and managing burn—it’s about ensuring fairness and staying competitive.
When your compensation strategy is not on point, you could lose valuable team members and have trouble attracting the people you need to grow your business.
That’s why Carta is excited to partner with Sequoia Group, a leading tech-enabled compensation advisory company for VC-backed companies, to help joint customers create and implement an effective compensation strategy. By combining Carta Total Compensation (CTC) private market salary and equity data with Sequoia’s expertise and technology, joint customers can build a holistic pay program for a modern workforce that aligns with business objectives and scales with growth.
“Compensating your employees fairly while managing burn responsibly is crucial, and next to impossible without the right data and expertise,” said Josh Steinfeld, Carta’s principal product strategist. “By partnering with Sequoia, our customers have access to the data and expertise they need to create a compensation strategy that controls costs and maximizes retention.”
“Establishing a thoughtful total rewards strategy is the key to gaining a true people advantage,” said Kyle Holm, Sequoia’s vice president of compensation advisory. “With this packaged solution, our team has the ability to provide strategic insights and bring the data to life, so we can help VC-backed companies, across any stage or economic conditions.”
