If they think you shouldn't own 10%, then perhaps they should fork out whatever price it is that you deem to be sufficient for your 10%. If they want to buy you out and they're raising 500k at a $2.5 million post-money valuation, I'd tell them to pay $625,000 for your post-raise 25% or $375,000 for the 15% you're prepared to sell. They should be grateful for your gift to them, if you were to sell your shares for less than a rate of $25,000/1%. Keeping 10% for your future, after having sunk 16 months into the company, is definitely not unreasonable. The above is only my opinion and is not financial advice.
