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.

You are in the common stock series, you are probably, PreSeed, Seed stage and at most Series A

What I have seen based on experience:
Cofounders: Double digit equity:
Early employees: anywhere between 1% to 5 %
Advisors: 0.1-1%

Assuming you are an early C-level employee with good track record you can target 2%
