Comment on Startup "Co-Founder" Equity

Comments

I'm a little baffled by your first paragraph. Have you been working for a company part-time for an entire year and have never received compensation from a company that is clearly bringing in revenue?

If you like the work/company that much, clearly 7.5% of $X,XXX is greater than 100% of $0. And you'll still be part-time to pursue other things/ideas/etc.

Yes, that is correct. The idea is just to help the company grow as much as possible, continuing to hire and pay others first. I guess I've been acting as a partner in the company for a while now but not been an official equity partner on paper.

Yes 7.5% is more than nothing. I'm trying to figure though if that number is low or high. What do you think based on this information? What does your gut say?
