("SteadyTrail"), a technology platform purpose-built to help companies maximize the ROI of their employee ownership programs by transforming complex equity concepts into engaging, accessible experiences for frontline workers, to strengthen its comprehensive employee ownership offering.

SteadyTrail launched in early 2025, working closely with Altamont Capital Partners – a lower-middle market private equity firm focused on transforming and scaling companies – whose portfolio companies helped prioritize design requirements to develop a purpose-built platform to administer and activate broad-based equity programs at scale.

"Altamont has long been committed to broad-based equity programs, and it has been a pleasure working with SteadyTrail as we launch and implement our employee ownership programs," said Jim Kunihiro, Managing Director at Altamont. "We are grateful for SteadyTrail's partnership and look forward to continuing to work with them and Equity Shift on enhancing the impact of our programs."
