I think that trading salary for equity makes you in the same league as an angel investor. In my opinion, early employees are absolutely entitled to the same terms as investors and should be treated with the same respect.
- sanderjd 11y agoYou're definitely in the same league, but you don't necessarily have the exact same incentives, which might affect the negotiated terms in various ways. But in general, investors are very sophisticated and aware of how to get a good deal, so negotiating for the same terms they get is a good stand-in for negotiating for good terms without needing to be as sophisticated yourself.
