🔮 About us

Figures was created in October 2020 by Virgile, who was fed up of not having relevant compensation data for the start-up market in France, which led to endless discussions, negotiations, and therefore tons of internal inequality.

Joined by Bastien quickly after, they first tackled this issue by creating the first compensation benchmark product for start-ups & scale-ups in France.

With 500+ clients as of today, we can safely say that we found our Product Market Fit.

Our goal is now two-fold:

• Become the main European Compensation benchmark product for start-ups & scale-ups as soon as possible.
• Expand our product from pure benchmarking to compensation management as a whole.

Here is a short video about our mission 👇

• Delivery: translate those needs in potential solutions, and help the software engineers solve them in an iterative manner (while giving software engineers as much ownership as possible on the product).
• Communication: to the clients & internally with the whole Figures team.
