Wouldn't 25% deter possible investors? I was thinking of asking for 10% and settling on 5% because I want the company to succeed.

In standard terms from what I understand is 4 year vesting so with 50% ownership that's 50% divided by 4 to get to one year of work....comes to 12.5%... put it forward as industry standard

Its not your duty to mummy the company at this stage. You need to look after your own interest. State your claim and let the other side make a counter offer
