1% you are being fucked. You’re building the product that is used to raise money, pre-investment.

You’re really a founder. Ask for 10-30%.

10-30% doesn't even seem excessive if there is no product today.

There are so many startups that post on this board with an open-ended title similar to "Looking for an engineer to build our product", then you go to their website and they're offering 0.5% equity. It's almost insulting.

Yeah, I was told 5%+ is what senior execs get post series B~. Isn't that like claiming the nanny to be more important that the amniotic fluid lol
