I'm apalled when HN threads like this pop up. Here's the outside perspective: You're working for them for free. No, sorry, you have a handshake but good luck taking them to court with that. If you want to continue work for them and do it just for equity, you can get around minimum wage rules by being "self employed" on paper and contracting out to them. You'll have to do your own paperwork but this is also a good thing. You can invoice them for equity. A handshake is only worth the paper it's written on. An unpaid invoice is something you can action.
