I am hiring and training people, so I am in a leadership role already. I work closely with the CEO and CTO daily to design the software. I am constantly creating new efficiencies and I negotiate the business contracts with some of our largest clients (2M+ annual). I don't know how much more I could be considered a leader within this company.

did you bring those clients? why arnt you getting a commission then? you should be participating more than 20k. Why is 1% of profits only 20k anyway? and again to clarify, as another poster said - if profits are low because of growth - and you are there for growth - your deal should be in actual equity not just a profit percentage. you are there supporting the growth, you need the upside. that is the case. otherwise go elsewhere. cognitive dissonance is a bitch. you arnt being valued to what you think your value is.
