The Salary Benchmark Fight Hiding In Your Cap Table
Pave and Carta both promise to tell you what to pay people. The real question is whose paychecks are in the sample - and the two tools answer it very differently.
Pave and Carta Are Selling Different Truths About Pay
Pave starts with live HR-system connections; Carta starts with private-market cap tables. The better compensation benchmark depends on which version of the labor market you need to see.

Matt Schulman is the Founder and CEO of Pave, the AI-powered compensation platform he built after watching coworkers at Facebook struggle to understand their own stock options. Starting with a cold email to 200 executives in 2019 (59 replied within 24 hours), he grew Pave into a $1.6 billion company with 3,500+ customers and $471M in total funding - making it the largest compensation data provider for private companies in the world after acquiring Option Impact from Morgan Stanley in 2022.
