founders wants me to join for just equity, how much should I ask for?
mark_l_watson: I would not do this. Several years ago, an investor was putting together a team and offered me 30% salary and some equity - with a 1 year commitment to see if the business would fly. Because the business plan seemed so good, I was going to go for it but then promptly backed out when I was asked to forgo salary for slightly more equity.If you are not a full-on partner, then require some salary.
