If a substantial portion of your compensation is coming from equity should be able to ask for any information you think you need to accept the offer. I find the language in these agreements pretty difficult to understand if you don't have experience with startups and valuations, so knowing what % you are getting is meaninglessness if you don't have and understand the terms (many startups don't disclose that information until you sign the offer). Early stage startups are always risky, much more so in the current economic environment, so in my opinion when joining a startup pre Series C take as much cash as you can.
