From good to great in equity. Learn how Metomic elevated their share option programme with equiCraft
Metomic is a data security platform that finds sensitive data across your SaaS, GenAI and cloud apps, fixes access at scale and keeps remediation moving with a clear audit trail. Metomic integrates with the tools teams already use, Slack, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Jira and more, so organisations can move fast without compromising on security.
Metomic had always valued equity as a core part of its employee proposition, but as the company grew, so did the complexity of managing the programme. Like many scaling startups, the team recognised an opportunity to professionalise their approach - moving from a functional scheme to one that was best-in-class, with a structured award framework and stronger employee engagement.
With the leadership team focused on building the business, Metomic wanted a specialist partner who could take ownership of the end-to-end process and help them turn equity into a genuine strategic tool for attracting and retaining talent.
We partnered with Metomic to elevate their equity programme into something clear and motivating:
Scheme redesign workshop: We collaborated with Metomic's leadership to design new scheme rules which benchmarked favourably against best in class.
Award framework: A structured, scalable framework was created to guide future equity grants, giving stakeholders confidence the option pool is being managed correctly.
Full rollout & education: Every eligible employee received options under the newly designed scheme and we delivered a company-wide session to ensure everyone understood their awards and benefits.
End-to-end administration, all handled seamlessly: We drafted all legal documents, ensured the necessary corporate approvals were in place, handled the entire signing process, updated the cap table and took care of all necessary filings with HMRC, leaving the Metomic team free to focus on more value-add activities.
“equiCraft’s end to end administration was a game changer for us. Unlike traditional solutions, equiCraft did the heavy lifting and took all the admin off my plate. For a growing company like Metomic, which didn’t have the resources to manage this in-house, this full service approach was absolutely vital.”
- Amy Beer, VP Finance & Operations
