Question
We are in the common stock series. At the moment I have been investing 32 hours a week in the startup for the past 4 months without receiving salary. I handle marketing, communications, PR and sales. The equity pool reserved for first employees is 40%. There are around 20 people working at the startup, from which maybe 6-8 invest the same or a bit more time as me. The two founders included. Thanks for your help.
Answer
Very simple.
B - A - C = D
A. The business value before you join the Startup.
B. The business value after you join the Startup
C. Your salaries and respective expenses
D. Business value added
Use D to negotiate your equity value.
