Absolutely aware of dilution and all - it's more a matter of principle. I've worked my ass off and surely should have some entitlement to the company of helped build.

I was originally offered stock options in a staff pool - but I'm not happy with that. That will dilute so much and be worth nothing eventually. They're aware of this which is why we're discussing equity.

So hard..

Yes, you have more leverage before you sign the contract to join the company than after...Use it or lose it...Your contract is your entitlement.
