Thanks for these. First link (and similar others I've found) has helped me get up to speed on terminology and other issues at play.
I haven't been given information about what % of the company the shares I'm being offered represent. How critical is this do you think? Can I take the company at their word in terms of what the shares are worth at what they state is the current valuation of the company?

- argonaut 11y agoYou should definitely press for as much information as you can - how many shares (or stock options, or RSUs) you're getting, how many shares are outstanding, the common stock / preferred stock breakdown, liquidation preferences, etc. It's unlikely any startup will be willing to share all of that with you, though. That being said, they definitely cannot lie to you.
- trying222 11y agoThanks, this is a helpful list of questions. I'll go ahead and ask and see what they say, worst case they won't be able to answer any of them.
