JakeTapper Sep 15, 20180.5% I think is fair given your role and number of employees.. https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/06/cap-tables-share-structures-valuations-oh-my-a-case-study-of-early-stage-funding/
How many employees and what title/role are you being offered?
around 60 employees and the role is that of tech lead to lead one on their new verticals.
I hate to disappoint you, but I’ve never seen a startup giving anyone lower than a VP a nickel in equity. That much would very likely have to go to the board approval. That said, you can definitely negotiate and maximize the ISOs you get by trading off base salary. It’s wise to do if you think the company has legs to get to IPO. Good luck.
