[PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pave-and-levelsfyi-announce-strategic-alliance-bringing-levelsfyi-data-into-pave-agent-and-market-pricing-302922761.html) carried the announcement from San Francisco.\n\n## How Pave Agent Uses Levels.fyi Data\n\nThrough the alliance, [Pave](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000wo8/pave) customers can compare pay for a role across sources, benchmark against real-time market data, and price jobs and build competitive pay ranges. Customers can analyze Levels.fyi data alongside their own compensation data and any other sources they choose. Pave Agent can use Levels.fyi data as a reference input, so teams can ask a question in plain language and see the answer across Levels.fyi, their other sources, and real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies in Pave's dataset.\n\n[Levels.fyi](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0003sy1/levels-fyi) contributes data directly from the people earning it, backed by proof documents such as offer letters, W-2s and pay stubs. Mutual clients can ask Pave Agent to compare pay across Levels.fyi, WTW, Korn Ferry, Croner and Pave's real-time Market Data within one platform, and can see self-reported Levels.fyi data next to survey and real-time benchmarks. The alliance builds on Pave's partnerships with The Croner Company, Korn Ferry and WTW.\n\n\"Compensation decisions are only as good as the data behind them, and no single source tells the whole story,\" said Matt Schulman, CEO of Pave. \"Our goal is for Pave to be the central source for the data compensation teams use to make decisions, with real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies as the foundation and every source a client trusts available alongside it.\"\n\nZuhayeer Musa, co-founder of Levels.fyi, said: \"Our data gives customers a current, company-level view of the market, backed by real proof such as offer letters and pay stubs. Bringing that perspective into Pave means teams can build the peer groups that matter to them, focus on a single competitor, and combine Levels.fyi's rich intelligence with the rest of their stack.\"\n\n## Pave's Funding and Partner History\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Pave launched Pave Agent (Paige), an AI compensation intelligence agent providing conversational access to market benchmarks, workforce insights, equity practices and internal company data analysis, with beta extending into 2026. The same records show Pave joined Culture Amp's partner ecosystem in December 2025 to expand HR technology integrations, and in February 2025 entered a strategic partnership with Newfront to co-develop the True Cost of Hiring Report.\n\n## Earlier Pave Product Releases\n\nPave released its August Market Data in August 2026, adding Forward Deployed Engineering as a benchmarked job family, five manufacturing roles and 29 new locations, paired with the Pave Agent's new ability to analyze live job postings alongside recent hire benchmarks, PR Newswire reported. In August 2026, [Third News](https://akta.pro/news-signals) reported enhancements to the Pave Agent enabling comprehensive analysis of organizational compensation systems using historical data and real-time job postings. Pave announced Total Rewards Live 2026, a director-and-above summit on October 6 in San Francisco bringing 300 compensation leaders together, Morningstar reported in August 2026.\n\n## Levels.fyi Data Availability\n\nLevels.fyi data is now available to mutual customers through Pave Agent and Pave's Market Pricing tool. Existing customers can contact their account teams for access and availability details, Pave said.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
