Aeqium
Aeqium is a San Francisco-based software company building an AI-driven compensation planning platform for HR and people teams.

It integrates with common HRIS, ATS and equity systems and counts companies like Braze, Warby Parker, Hopper, WHOOP and dbt Labs among its customers.

Founded in 2021 by Roger Lee and Teddy Sherrill, it combines real-time salary benchmarking data from thousands of tech companies with configurable pay-range management, pay-equity analytics, and HRIS integrations so HR and finance teams can run compensation cycles and make data-driven pay decisions in one place.
Peter McKee
Peter McKee is the co-founder and CEO of Aeqium, a San Francisco compensation-management platform that pulls HR and finance teams out of spreadsheet chaos and into a controlled, data-driven system for planning salaries, bonuses, equity, and benefits. An MIT-trained engineer who led self-driving rider experience at Uber and was an early backend engineering manager at Braze, McKee also served as a US Army officer running battalion combat-engineer operations in Afghanistan. He started Aeqium in late 2020 to make pay fairer, faster, and less of a fire drill.
