That salary is crazy for someone that early, before revenue or major vc capital. By drawing that huge salary, she is avoiding all the risk and therefore deserved less equity. I think the 6% you gave her was generous.

Generous, but fatal. From the sound of it she was not a good candidate to be a startup cofounder. Better to give 50% to someone who's going to be as passionate as you than 1% to someone who's not. Daniel
