About Equi:
We help investors unlock generational wealth by providing access to investments normally reserved for the institutions and the ultra wealthy. We evaluate thousands of investments to provide our customers one diversified, and managed portfolio of alternative asset investments (things that are not stocks and bonds). Best of all, we are powered by an intuitive and easy to use software platform that our customers can use anywhere. Learn more at www.equi.com.

Our culture is driven by the values we collectively share and live together:

  • Tikkun Olam (#TO, 🌎 ): Intent matters; and we’re committed to making our world a better place.
    Be a Fiduciary (#BaF, 🏦 ): We always act in our customers’ best interests.
  • Renaissance Ambition (#RA, 🎨 ): We pursue constant learning and self-development outside of work.
  • Cheetah Craftsmanship (#ChC, 🐆 ): We sprint, innovate through obstacles, and produce excellent work; then recharge and reflect just as intensely, constantly honing and improving our craft.
  • Lift Each Other Up (#LEOU, 🙌🏼 ): We act for the greater good of the team, not our own self-interest.
  • Conscious candor (#CC, 👂🏼 ): We listen and communicate honestly and provide feedback directly while being self-aware and compassionate.
  • No lone wolves; Equi’s hunt & build systems together (#NLW, 🐺 ): We hunt as a pack, collaborate to avoid information silos, and build systems to make good things easy for the future. “You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.”
