Who We Are 📓

Today, only the wealthiest workers can take advantage of the money-making benefits that employers offer.

Benny is on a mission to change that by empowering employees of public companies to unlock the value in their Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP). This is a remarkable benefit that amounts to free money in the pockets of employees, but they just need the education and cash to participate. That’s where Benny comes in. We are an employee-finance startup that gets money to employees so they can unlock financial gains. We care about breaking down financial barriers, providing top-notch education, and being partners to our users.

Our 3 Core Values

• Integrity - We are here to do what’s right for the employee.
• Empathy - We lead with empathy. Everyone comes to Benny from a different place, and we will meet them where they are today.
• High Impact - Each project you undertake contributes to our mission. You're not just part of a team; you're a key player in driving meaningful change and delivering tangible results.

To achieve this, we need to build a platform that seamlessly manages a series of financial transactions, providing clear visibility into the value we’re delivering for each user. Your work will be essential in making this process easy, efficient, and impactful.
