Together we create a more equal society
Why Share Council exists
Share Council is a Dutch platform for employee ownership. Companies use it to set up and run options, SARs, STAK certificates and their cap table, so that the people who build a business also own part of it. Our mission is the same as on day one: reduce wealth inequality by making employees of European SMEs co-owners of the company they work for.
In February 2026 Share Council and Equidam, the startup valuation platform, announced their merger. Equidam works out what a company is worth, and Share Council builds the ownership plan on top of that value. Share Council is a trade name of Share Holding B.V.
