Executive Compensation Benchmarks and Market Insights for Early-Stage and Scaling Startups

In Deeptech, leadership hiring often happens before the market has fully defined the role. That makes compensation difficult to calibrate with confidence. Our 2026 Executive Compensation Report offers a practical benchmark for salary, bonus and equity across Seed to Series C businesses in the UK and Europe, grounded in real market data and shaped by live hiring insight. Some key insights from the report include:

  • Cash expectations are up
  • Equity is more disciplined than ever
  • Founder succession is being addressed earlier in the growth journey
  • Proven commercial leaders remain the hardest to hire
