Salary is relatively high for a start-up and you get very little equity. More of a regular job with extra options as a bonus if you ask me. Just think about what makes you want it? Are you in for the potential payout? Then I would aggressively bargain. Well you if you're important to the success and value yourself highly you should do that anyways, they won't get angry, in fact should appreciate somebody like that more (if not I'd doubt if it's worth working for those people). Most likely they have no idea how "fair" their offer is as much as you don't. Also if other people will be getting a similar deal I　would be slightly worried about motivational issues. I can easily imagine them hiring somebody for 80k that didn't make that much before or had a very similar salary. Add to that the rather longish runway of 12 months. Will there still be that atmosphere of pushing yourselves to the limit? I have no idea, we know too little about the company, but please ask yourself those questions.
