Aeqium
Aeqium is a San Francisco-based software company building an AI-driven compensation planning platform for HR and people teams. Founded in 2020 by former Uber, Palantir, Walmart Labs and Braze engineers, Aeqium replaces spreadsheet-based comp cycles with an agentic system that builds salary bands, runs pay-equity and analytics, manages merit and bonus reviews, and communicates total rewards to employees. It integrates with common HRIS, ATS and equity systems and counts companies like Braze, Warby Parker, Hopper, WHOOP and dbt Labs among its customers.
Complete
Complete is a San Francisco-based compensation management platform that helps startups and scaling companies design, model, and communicate employee pay - covering salary, equity, bonuses, and benefits. Founded in 2022 by Rani Mavram and Zack Field, the Y Combinator-backed company replaces spreadsheets with interactive offer letters, total rewards statements, salary bands, and AI-driven scenario planning through its Compy agent, integrating across ATS, HRIS, and cap table systems.
Comprehensive
Comprehensive is a San Francisco-based, AI-powered compensation management platform that lets companies plan, communicate, and benchmark employee pay without spreadsheets. 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.
Rani Mavram
Rani Mavram is the co-founder and CEO of Complete, a San Francisco compensation platform that turns the awkward salary conversation into an interactive offer letter. A UC Berkeley dual-degree grad and former Google product manager, she launched Complete through Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch, raised a $4M seed led by Accel, and was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for enterprise technology. Her pitch is simple: every company should know what it means to pay people, and no candidate should have to guess.
Roger Lee
Roger Lee is a San Francisco-based serial entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and CEO of Comprehensive, an all-in-one compensation management platform, and the creator of Layoffs.fyi, the internet's go-to tracker for tech layoffs. He also co-founded Human Interest, a $1B+ 401(k) platform serving over 20,000 small businesses. A Harvard Applied Mathematics graduate who taught himself HTML at age 12, Lee has been building internet products since the early 2000s - including a teen social network that reached 30 million monthly views in 2003. Named to San Francisco Business Times '40 Under 40' in 2023, he's become the de facto authority on both where tech workers are being let go and how much they should be getting paid.
