For me, I'd expect equity starting at the point where I'm providing something significant, rather than simply part of a mob. If I'm providing the equivalent of living expenses for a year or two, for instance, or enough money to purchase serious infrastructure, like an office. I think the floor for that amount starts at 20k as an extreme minimum. Naturally, this is what VCs are about.
