I wouldn't work for a startup, unless the pay was higher than than market (since there is more risk involved). I would also treat it as a job (IE: no insane hours). All too often, people toil away their life for someone else's idea and then get kicked to the curb (it's happened to me a couple times too). If I'm going to be wasting my free time working, it's going to be for the possibility of a big payout..which will only happen if I own the company.

Most people try to higher day 1 employees that believe in the company. The only reason to hire someone at a above the market rate is if you're funded, and have no technical compentance of your own. So, its doubtful that you'd be a startup employee.... but you're the right type to be a founder.
