Unless plaid's equity structure was very unusual, early employees (at least in engineering) certainly received much much more than 1 basis point.

Sure, but what's early? I don't think it's unheard of to get to O(1 basis point) at 100s of employees.

I've seen an offer at a ~50 person company for 1-2 basis points.
