Safely share and compare your Startup Engineer Salary

Hi HN, This is a mixture between a Show and Ask HN. I really appreciate your time and thoughts on this. My name is Alexis and I would like to show you something I've been working on on the technical side: It's called Huddle Metrics. Huddle Metrics is basically a safe place for you to anonymously share and compare sensitive data with your community. Sort of like a very controlled collaborative spreadsheet, really. Or a survey. But hopefully better. Think engineering salary and your equity in the company. Information that you track yourself but that's too taboo to share. If a pool of the data…

In plain words

Huddle Metrics is an anonymous data-sharing platform that lets startup employees securely share and compare sensitive information like salaries and equity with their peers.

It's designed for professionals who want compensation transparency without personal risk.

    website: dashboard.io I've been thinking about this idea for a while now and finally got around to building the prototype this weekend. The idea is that you'd drop my JS snippet on your site and I'd start building the "AARRR" table (which I'm actually building this week but imagine slide 4: http://www.slideshare.net/dmc500hats/startup-metrics-for-pirates-long-version). Basically, the system will build that table out for you and then show you how your startup stacks up against others in your space. To be clear, I'll never share your data with anyone.
