The portal establishes a single source of truth that empowers firms to make educated decisions on all aspects of total cash and equity across their entire portfolio.
It is available at no cost to any investment firm who wants visibility into their portfolio companies’ compensation, even if they are not Thelander clients.
Once the data has been accepted into the database, investors can log on to the Thelander platform, select each portfolio company, and view metrics such as:
— Current base salary
— Actual and target bonus
— Total cash
— Founder and non-founder equity percentages
For each individual, as well as insights into how their current figures compare to real-time global market data.
“Compensation represents one of the largest expenses for any private company and is a critical driver of success when competing for talent,” noted Jody Thelander, founder and CEO of J. Thelander Consulting.
“To make an educated compensation decision, you first need to know what the individual’s current mix of cash and equity is and then what the market pays. The Investor Portal is designed to be your single source of truth. Think of it like a map – it gives you the lay of the land, and from there, you can decide what route to go.”
Since Thelander only surveys private companies, it is a direct apples to apples comparison with no public company comparators mixed in.
Thelander’s survey-based platform delivers trustworthy, real-time benchmarks that go far beyond what a payroll plugin or cap table management collects. As a dedicated compensation data and consulting firm with nearly three decades of specialized experience, Thelander gathers insights directly from executives and leaders within the private capital markets, ensuring relevance and reliability that can’t be found anywhere else.
The Investor Portal builds on prior platform innovations, including year-over-year trend analysis and compensation planning tools, further solidifying Thelander as the gold standard for private market intelligence. Thelander’s approach continues to meet the needs of private companies and investment firms driving global innovation. By providing deeper, more actionable insights, the platform helps leaders align compensation strategies with business goals, support successful fundraising efforts, and retain top talent in an increasingly competitive environment.
