I got 1.125% which in retrospect was too low. But perhaps the bigger point is to find out or negotiate what it will take to get additional grants. Executives and the founders will likely get additional equity, particularly during funding rounds, the hiring of key roles, etc. You should have a path to getting additional stake too.

Can anyone say what those typical paths are? Contractual I would assume? I've wondered about that myself since I've heard much about dilution.

As in I ask in the contract to grant me additional equity when we get funding/meet KPIs? Also, how does it affect the vesting schedule?

[smush]

You vest as fast as the founders since you've been here from the very beginning and 'deserve' to be taken care of just as much as the founders do. You've had nearly equal risk in terms of company stabilization vs implosion, therefore logically you should have nearly equal reward in the early stages.
