People, payroll and equity, unified.
Peqo is the AI-native system of record for growing companies. One data model connects every contract, payslip and share, and AI agents handle the work in between: reading documents, checking payroll and answering questions.
Payroll check · March
- Headcount matches HR
- Wage tax recalculated

Built for every function
One source of truth, every team
When people, pay and ownership live in one system, each team works from the same live data and nobody reconciles spreadsheets.
Finance
Payroll that already knows about equity events, with AI checks before every run and burn by team on demand.
Legal
A clean cap table, grant documents extracted and linked to each employee, and a data room that is always current.
People
One workflow for hires, changes and exits. Every downstream change is drafted for you to approve.
Founders
An investor-ready view of people, pay and ownership, with answers in plain language.
Peqo Intelligence
AI agents that work across your entire people stack
Point solutions only see one system. Peqo's AI works across the complete employee record, from offer letter to payslip to vested shares, so it catches what separate tools cannot.
Ask Peqo
Instant answers from your live data
Ask about headcount, compensation or ownership in plain language. Every answer is grounded in your own records, cites its sources and respects permissions, so sensitive data stays with the people entitled to see it.

Document intelligence
Contracts and grants, extracted automatically
Employment contracts, grant letters and cap table spreadsheets become structured, linked records. Every field carries a confidence score, and anything uncertain is routed to a reviewer rather than guessed.

- ESOP (virtual)

Pre-run checks
Payroll, checked before it runs
Before each run, Peqo reconciles payroll against HR records, equity events and prior periods. Missing deductions, unapproved changes and stale data surface while they are still simple to correct.

Event workflows
One event, every system updated
When an employee joins, leaves or exercises options, Peqo prepares every downstream change across HR, payroll and the cap table. Your team reviews once and approves, with a complete audit trail.

How it connects
From disconnected tools to a single source of truth
Running HR, payroll and equity in separate systems means constant reconciliation and no single source of truth. Here is what changes when they share one record.

Migration
Fast, AI-assisted migration, with experts at hand
Switching systems usually means weeks of re-typing. With Peqo, AI does the extraction, our team handles the import, and you stay in control of every record.
- 01
Set up
Our team configures your workspace, entities and roles, and agrees an onboarding plan with you.
- 02
AI extraction
Peqo’s document AI reads your contracts, grant letters, cap table and payroll exports, and turns them into structured records.
- 03
Import
Records land in one unified data model. HR, payroll and equity are linked from day one.
- 04
Validation
You review every record before go-live. Anything the AI is unsure about is flagged, never guessed.
Security & trust
Built for your most sensitive data
Pay and ownership are the most sensitive data a company holds. We designed Peqo's AI around that from day one.
Permission-aware AI
The assistant only retrieves what the person asking is allowed to see. Salaries never leak through a chat answer.
Human in the loop
AI drafts changes, and a person approves them. Nothing touches payroll or the cap table without sign-off.
Full audit trail
Every change records who made it, when it happened and what it was based on, whether a human or the AI made it.
Encrypted everywhere
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each customer’s data is isolated.
Your data stays yours
Customer data is never used to train shared models.
EU-first infrastructure
Hosted in the EU. Our roadmap moves inference to self-hosted open models on GPUs, so people data never leaves the region.
What is Peqo?
Peqo is an AI-native people and equity platform. It unifies HR, payroll and cap table management in one data model, so employee events like a new hire, an exit or a stock-option exercise update every system at once. Its AI handles the work in between: reading documents, checking payroll before it runs and answering questions across all three.
Who is Peqo built for?
Peqo is built for growing, venture-backed companies that run an employee share plan (ESOP or VSOP). It serves founders, people teams, finance and legal, and gives employees a clear view of their pay and equity.
How does Peqo use AI?
In four places. Ask Peqo answers questions from your own HR, payroll and cap table records, with sources. Document intelligence extracts contracts and grant letters into structured data. Pre-run checks flag payroll anomalies before a run. Event workflows draft every downstream change for a person to approve. A human approves anything that changes data.
Is our data used to train AI models?
No. Customer data is never used to train shared models. The assistant uses permission-aware retrieval, so it only reads records the person asking is allowed to see.
How does migration to Peqo work?
Our team sets up your account, then Peqo’s document AI extracts data from your existing contracts, grant letters, cap table and payroll exports. We import it, and you validate every record before go-live. Anything the AI is unsure about is flagged for review instead of guessed.
How does Peqo keep data secure?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated per customer and hosted in the EU. Access is role-based, every change is written to an audit trail, and AI actions require human approval.
Which countries does Peqo support?
Peqo starts with Germany for payroll and supports German ESOP and VSOP structures. More EU countries follow based on demand.
