In addition, companies provided information about their total employee ownership as a percentage of the fully diluted shares. Regions The 2014 regional breakdown for the United States shifted only slightly as a percentage of the survey population compared to survey data from The table below shows the regional distribution for the 2014 survey and the graph shows a comparative distribution between 2014 and Region Breakdown United States SF Bay Area % North East % So.

3 Industries With guidance from our Advisory Board comprised of six of the participating venture firms, the 2014 survey industries were updated to reflect a more contemporary view of technology. The table and graph below show the distribution of the 2014 industry sectors. Comparison to the 2013 survey is omitted due to the industry changes Industry Breakdown Enterprise % Consumer % Hardware / Device % Clean Tech % Other Technology 6 0.7% Stage of Development The distribution of companies by stage of development was relatively constant from 2013 to The table below shows developmental distribution for the 2014 survey and the graph shows a comparative distribution between 2014 and Stage of Development Breakdown Early/Product Definition % Product Development % Product in Beta % Shipping Product % Profitable % In 2014, Shipping Product as the largest developmental group has changed somewhat from the 2013 data in its division into two groups: 42% of the companies have revenues of $10M or less; and 58% of the companies have revenues of greater than $10M. In 2013, 52% of the companies had revenues of $10M or less. Funding The survey distribution of companies by Funding Round in 2014 showed an overall increase of funding to earlier stage companies. In 2014 there was an increase of +66% in data submitted by Seed Funding Only through Post Series A companies when compared to the 2013 survey population. The 2014 distribution of companies by Cumulative Capital Raised shifted in the amount of capital raised when compared to 2013 data. There was an increase of +15% in companies raising capital of >$0 - $10M with a corresponding drop in the companies with capital raised of between >$10M - $25M and >$25M - $50M. Page 2

5 Employee Ownership The table below shows 2014 median (50 th percentile) ownership as a percentage of company fully diluted shares by founder, investor and employee groups for five developmental cuts of survey data. OWNERSHIP All Technology Industries Both Founding and Non-Founding CEOs Pre-Revenue Companies #Cos Median # Employees % Cos w/ Founding CEO's or No CEO Median % Founder Median % Investor Median % Employee* Post Series A % 35.6% 44.4% 18.3% Post Series B % 23.2% 52.2% 20.0% Companies with Revenue Shipping Product, Revenue <$10M % 21.7% 59.3% 17.1% Shipping Product, Revenue $10M % 11.3% 65.4% 19.5% Profitable % 11.5% 67.3% 20.1% * Employee ownership includes unissued options In 2014, overall employee ownership as a % of company fully diluted shares varied from 2013 as shown on the graph Employee Ownership by Stage. Pre-Revenue, Post A and Post B, along companies that were Shipping with <$10M Revenue reported increases of between 1.5% and 2.4% in employee ownership. Later stage companies reported a decrease in employee ownership of between 1.2% and 1.5% compared with survey participants in As shown in the second graph, Founding CEOs on Staff by Stage, in 2014 there was an overall decrease of -10% in founding CEO population compared to With the exception of the Post A, Pre-Revenue group, every segment showed a decrease in the founding CEO population. When looking at employee ownership in conjunction with founding status by revenue grouping, the earlier stage companies are trending towards increased option pools when hiring non-founding CEOs. This trend, however, was not reported in the 2014 later stage companies. Page 4
6 Compensation Trends Survey Population A subset of the more common survey positions was reviewed for changes in the 2014 survey population as compared to the 2013 survey population. The 2014 survey data was comprised of 77% non-founders and 23% founders, representing almost no shift in the total non-founder population compared to the 2013 survey data. The table below shows the total count and percent of nonfounding positions for the 2014 survey and the graph shows a comparative distribution between 2014 and The largest change from founder to non-founder status was an increase of +10% in the Chief Technology Officer population Select Non-Founder Jobs as a Percent of Count Count % Non-Founder Chief Executive Officer % Chief Operations Officer % VP Operations % Chief Technology Officer % VP Engineering % Chief Financial Officer % VP Finance % Chief Marketing Officer % VP Marketing % Chief Revenue Officer 79 92% VP Sales % VP Business Development % VP Product / Strategy % In 2014, the population of non-founder positions was fairly comparable to 2013 with the noted exception of an increase of +10% in the Chief Technology Officer position and a +6% increase in the VP of Business Development position.

7 Cash Compensation Non-Founders When comparing 2014 to 2013 data for the subset of most common non-founding executives, overall base salary generally increased on an average +2.0% and total target pay (defined as base salary + target incentive pay) increased on an average +0.3%. A smaller overall increase is in the survey population is understandable given the increase in earlier stage companies. The table below shows median (50 th percentile) cash compensation for select non-founder positions in the 2014 survey and the graph shows comparative data between 2014 and All currency was converted to USD for analysis purposes. Select Non-Founder Jobs 2014 Median Cash Compensation Base Salary Target Pay Chief Executive Officer $275,000 $380,550 Chief Operations Officer $229,754 $287,000 VP Operations $185,000 $200,125 Chief Technology Officer $202,500 $235,796 VP Engineering $200,000 $230,000 Chief Financial Officer $225,000 $280,000 VP Finance $182,500 $214,057 Chief Marketing Officer $235,000 $297,000 VP Marketing $200,000 $230,000 Chief Revenue Officer $242,000 $400,000 VP Sales $200,000 $350,000 VP Business Development $192,000 $245,000 VP Product / Strategy $194,875 $220,000 Data is combined for all stages of development and does not necessarily reflect a trend of increasing or decreasing compensation. The 2014 aggregate non-founding CEO median (50 th percentile) for cash compensation for the data subset shown below had an overall decrease of -3.4% in base salary and a decrease of -4.9% in total target pay compared to 2013 data. Analysis of 2014 cash compensation broken out by select stages of company development is represented in the chart and the adjacent graph shows comparative data between 2014 and There are very few companies with non-founding CEOs in the Post Series A and Post Series B companies with no revenue. Analysis showed no change in base salary with a decrease of -3.8% in total target pay for the Shipping Product group. However, there is a significant +5.2% increase in base salary with a +5.1% increase in total target pay for non-founding CEOs in the Profitable companies. Non-Founder CEO 2014 Median Cash Compensation By Stage of Development # CEOs Base Salary Target Pay Companies in Analysis 326 $275,000 $380,550 Pre-Revenue: All Companies 17 $250,000 $275,000 Post Series A, No Revenue 6 $237,500 $237,500 Post Series B, No Revenue 5 $300,000 $330,000 Revenue: All Companies 309 $280,000 $400,000 Shipping Product 230 $275,000 $375,000 Profitable 66 $315,550 $473,170 Page 6
8 Founders When comparing 2014 to 2013 data for the subset of most common founding executive titles, overall changes base salary reflect an average decrease of -1.4% and an average decrease of -3.2% in total target pay (defined as base salary + target incentive pay). When considering the shift to earlier stage company demographics in the 2014 survey population, decreases in compensation by position without regard to company stage of development are not surprising. The table below shows median (50 th percentile) cash compensation for select founder positions in the 2014 survey and the graph shows comparative data between 2014 and All currency was converted to USD for analysis purposes. Select Founder Jobs 2014 Median Cash Compensation Base Salary Target Pay Chief Executive Officer $183,750 $200,000 Chief Technology Officer $175,000 $181,000 VP Engineering $164,918 $177,500 Chief Marketing Officer $150,000 $170,000 VP Marketing $160,000 $160,000 Chief Revenue Officer $230,000 $244,750 VP Sales $202,500 $285,000 VP Business Development $200,000 $200,000 VP Product / Strategy $160,000 $160,000 Data is combined for all stages of development and does not necessarily reflect a trend of increasing or decreasing compensation. The aggregate founding CEO median (50 th percentile) for cash compensation in 2014 showed an average decrease of -8.1% in base salary and an average decrease of -6.4% in total target pay compared to 2013 data. A detailed analysis of 2014 cash compensation broken out by select stages of company development is represented in the chart below and the adjacent graph shows comparative data between 2014 and Analysis showed founders in the 2014 survey data generally were paid comparable to or somewhat less than those in Due to the influx of Seed Funded companies in the 2014 survey, there was a significant decrease of -28.3% in base salary when looking at all Pre-Revenue companies as a group. However, there was almost no change in base salary for subgroups examined with an exception of a decrease of -5.0% in the Post Series B, No Revenue companies. Founder CEO 2014 Median Cash Compensation By Stage of Development # CEOs Base Salary Target Pay Companies in Analysis 565 $183,750 $200,000 Pre-Revenue: All Companies 134 $120,000 $120,000 Post Series A, No Revenue 41 $150,000 $150,000 Post Series B, No Revenue 16 $190,000 $190,000 Revenue: All Companies 431 $200,000 $221,311 Shipping Product 353 $200,000 $210,000 Profitable 58 $250,000 $350,000 Page 7
9 Equity Compensation Non-Founders Equity compensation for non-founding executives remained relatively consistent and a much smaller variance is typically seen from year to year. When looking at the entire population of executives instead of data by stage of development, data is neutralized and blended equity benchmarks are a reflection of overall survey demographics. The table below shows median (50 th percentile) equity compensation as a percentage of fully diluted shares for select non-founder positions in the 2014 survey and the graph shows comparative data between 2014 and Select Non-Founder Jobs 2014 Median Equity Compensation (% of Fully Diluted Shares) Equity Held Chief Executive Officer 5.05% Chief Operations Officer 1.50% VP Operations 0.54% Chief Technology Officer 1.16% VP Engineering 0.73% Chief Financial Officer 1.00% VP Finance 0.28% Chief Marketing Officer 0.88% VP Marketing 0.59% Chief Revenue Officer 1.24% VP Sales 0.62% VP Business Development 0.54% VP Product / Strategy 0.57% Data is combined for all stages of development and does not necessarily reflect a trend of increasing or decreasing compensation. The aggregate non-founding CEO median (50 th percentile) for total equity compensation in 2014 showed a slight decrease of -2% (representing -0.10% of fully diluted shares) compared to 2013 data. A detailed analysis of 2014 equity compensation broken out by select stages of company development is represented in the chart below and the adjacent graph shows comparative data between 2014 and There are very few companies with non-founding CEOs in the Post Series A and Post Series B companies with no revenue so a large data variance may be negligible. Analysis showed almost no change in equity allocated to non-founding CEOs in Profitable companies and a slight decrease of -4% (representing 0.2% of the fully diluted shares) in the Shipping Product group.

10 Founders Equity held by select founder positions showed an increase from 2014 to 2013 due to increases in all positions except the Chief Revenuer Office and VP Sales functions. The table below shows median (50 th percentile) equity compensation as a percentage of fully diluted shares for select founder positions in the 2014 survey and the graph shows comparative data between 2014 and Select Founder Jobs 2014 Median Equity Compensation (% of Fully Diluted Shares) Equity Held Chief Executive Officer 16.91% Chief Technology Officer 9.09% VP Engineering 6.30% Chief Marketing Officer 8.66% VP Marketing 3.82% Chief Revenue Officer 4.80% VP Sales 2.77% VP Business Development 4.96% VP Product / Strategy 6.99% Data is combined for all stages of development and does not necessarily reflect a trend of increasing or decreasing compensation. The aggregate founding CEO median (50 th percentile) for total equity compensation in 2014 showed an increase of +19% in overall holdings (representing +2.75% of fully diluted shares) compared to 2013 data. A detailed analysis of 2014 equity compensation broken out by select stages of company development is represented in the chart below and the adjacent graph shows comparative data between 2014 and Based on the trends shown, founding CEOs were generally more successful in maintaining their equity positions in 2014 compared to Analysis showed the largest change occurred in Pre-Revenue Companies where there was an overall increase of +36% in the amount of equity held (representing +6.34% of fully diluted shares). Companies that were shipping Product showed an increase of +20% in the amount of equity held (representing 2.58% of fully diluted shares); presumably from an increase in Refresh or Follow-On grant practices.

11 Performance Stock Performance stock represents the shares or options granted or promised that will be either earned or vested in the future based upon either company or individual performance. It is a subset of the total shares and options held by the executive. The use of performance stock continues its minimal occurrence as a form of incentive compensation for the Technology sector. In 2014, performance stock was utilized by roughly 3.5% of the companies surveyed, which is a large decrease from the 6.5% of companies using performance stock reported in The 50 th percentile of performance stock as shown below is approximately equivalent to 15% - 20% of the total equity held by the executive level.
