You should absolutely ask for more. 0.5-1% is more typical for early employees. The worst that can happen is they say no. 0.4% is great if it's the next Google

0.4% is great if it's the next Google. Assuming an early exit, that won't be life changing money.
Instead of making this an argument over how hard you can be expected to work, you could offer some flexibility on the salary ($10k lower than market until major financing is not going to be a big deal) or prove that you can add far more than 1% of value to the company.
