Startup comp/ equity?

What's the reasonable equity compensation expectation of early employee (first 5 ) in a startup?

If I were you I’ll ask for 1%

Not enough if the founders aren't exceptionally well connected and funded.

If first 5, 10%

Anywhere between 2-6%

Heavily depends on strategy, your role, etc. 1% is high. More than that is probably not gonna happen.

I recommend the work professor Mike Moyer did on the whole subject, called Slicing Pie. You can read his book or just go to his wensite: slicingpie.com it’s fantastic.
