Equity Directory vs Whire

The invite-only network of entrepreneurs and startup talent exchanging work for equity.

We connect early-stage entrepreneurs with talent that is looking for projects they believe in and are willing to take equity or cash/equity as a form of payment. We curate the membership on the front end and personally facilitate introductions on the backend.

Whire is the world’s most efficient and diverse referral-powered recruiting platform.

Whire's mission is to help companies find qualified talents quickly, scale job referral programs, fight bias, and enhance diversity. Only 27% of all hires come through referrals. We offer a way to change that.

- Referrals programs have outstanding results yet we limit them to employees
- Internal referrals replicate cultural, socio-economic, and religious backgrounds
- Agency recruitment fees are outrageous, disintermediation will greatly reduce costs
- The hiring funnel should start with high-quality, vetted candidates
