Beta Existence positions for success by leveraging modern technology, Financial valuations methods and forgotten techniques to obtain, efficiency, the exact field compensation / equity consultants and investors find most compelling. Beta knows what these are because, we are not just “comp nerds,” strip-mining data. We are the dying bred of full-press compensation and governance renaissance consultants: knowledge a mile wide and a yard deep. Beta owns and sources our data from proprietary "be_secAPI" operating under the MIT open source Julia license. We do not sell data to third parties or use it internally in historic databases like the large survey houses.  The sheer energy waste in doing so is astronomical.
