> I'm leaving a startup I founded due to disagreements over team/strategy. I worked on it for about 16 months. > Is it reasonable for me to keep 10% of it. - They think it's way too much. 33% over a 48 month vesting schedule is: 16/48*.33 is 11%. Option A) Ask for 11% of the money raised, 11% of the company, or some combination thereof. (i.e. Keep 5% and sell them 6% for ~$30k) Option B) Dilute you over time as the company grows. A is about as low as its reasonable for them to offer you. If they aren't willing to meet that bar, just hold on to the full amount you are entitled until they agree.
