I have a good opportunity to join a startup, my role will be to design and build a MVP, so far there are 3 people involved.
It really all depends on - if your putting in any money - How much your salary will be (market rate or lower)? - existing investors - if they're revenue generating - how long the companies be around Essentially it's the risk profile of the company that you're coming into. If it's an idea and your coming in at the ground level and not taking a salary the 50/50. If it's been around for a while, no investors and some traction or revenue, you'll be paid below market rate, then maybe 3-10% If it's making money, raised some capital and your a "normal" developer (not a super star) then 1% The key is that you ask for the Cap Table to truly understand what % of the company the type + amount of shares they're inferring equates to. 10,000 shares doesn't mean much if they have 100M outstanding. Also, all equity should be vested over 4 years, 1 year cliff.DM

What's an alternative to equity based compensation that recruits, motivates and retains employees?
Before we dive into the equity,salary and such. Motivation and retention begins with the CEO. Ask yourself what is the culture of the company? If you don't know anything about culture then start with the basics: 1. Do you value employee opinions? Do you ask for others opinions? 2. Do you encourage people to listen to employee problems? Do you listen to what other people have to say? 3. Do you encourage others to come up with ideas and suggestion? 4. Can you sell your dream? 5. Can you build consensus? 6. Hire people for their strengths and fix their weaknesses 7. Don't assume shit, always ask 8. Treat your interns like employees and mentor them 9. Have a clear vision and be able to articulate it 10. Can you admit when you are wrong? VERY IMPORTANT So if you have a strong company culture this will help with new hires, motivate, and retain talent. The frosting on the cake is free food/snacks, happy hours, company paid healthcare benefits, etc.TP

Need an expert advice on budgeting for a startup and equity allocation in the startup.
1. Before you dive into building out marketplace software you might find it easier to quickly test your MVP using a SaaS product like https://near-me.com/. I am NOT affiliated with them. But in a previous startup explored the marketplace concept. Spend 12K for a year on a SaaS product then spending so much more doing it from the ground up. If you gain momentum then start to build out your own platform. 2. Technical Co-founder is the person who will help bring your idea to life so enough skin in the game to keep them motivated and keep him/her hungry. 3. Remember 100% of 0 is 0. So if the CTO wants 20%-25%. Does it really matter at this point? No it doesn't. 4. Make sure you understand how to tackle the marketplace problem of the chicken and egg. You have supply on one side and demand on the other. What comes first? You should think through that as well.TP

I brought the company from no pricing strategy, no script, no sales process, no sales team, + 800K in sales to 2.5 million. What do I deserve?
It sound to me that you will not be there for a long time. If the owner is not giving you any rights it is a clear sign.. Look like he/she needed a helping hand and that's what you did.. 1- This is not a fruitful relationship between you two and he is not committed to you.. You drove his business and now he is benefiting from your presence.. Collect your money and get out. Do the same thing by yourself and shift your customers to you.. OR.... 2- Set monthly targets to cash out. Say... if you reach 100K/monthly take 25% and if you reach 300K/m take 35% of the incremental in revenue on top of your 25%, sign an consultant contract, get your money on time and leave.. Change your approach and don't get caught up in company equity and shares etc... . if owner is dragging don't drag along with him. Act quick...MA

What are the best books to learn about Leveraged Buyouts and other creative financing topics?
If you want information that matters in "Creative Financing Techniques" find a person with the experience/insight. Most of what is in books is dated. Many of the more creative methods are a function of current tax code and market factors (like QE).CW
