The terms and conditions of the contractual negotiations can only be had after you have shown substantial value, so your relevant knowledge must be put forth to earn equity, or some type of strategic alliance, which may have a pay or pay for performance component- this does depend on the product or service of the startup, its margins, the anticipated percentages of net and gross margins- there is no template, as the terms and conditions are as varied as the situations and the people, of course. It is more of an art than a science, in this space, you are painting on a brand new canvas - begin with fundamental contractual terms and conditions .
