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
This depends on what stage they are, how badly they want you and what is the future look like at the company. Also on the qualifications as well. But as a bare minimum, C-level equity compensation for start-ups, anything 3-4% and above is a fair game.
