I'm guessing thats for late stage "startups" with millions in revenue, since I don't see anyone taking those numbers for an early stage company * CEO 5.40%

That adds up to a pool of roughly 20% for management. That's the venture-backed world for you. Try taking 3 rounds and see where it leaves your equity! More telling are the equity stats by founder status (more detail in the post on mean and median, but here's the range): Non-founder CEO: 3.9%-6.5% Founder CEO: 8.3%-30% These figures might strike you as low, but if you take a look at the salaries these people pay themselves, it starts to make sense: Non-founder CEO: $205-$260 Founder CEO: $162-$229 As the CEO of a venture backed company, it seems you're not always in it for the equity... (more details of massive bonuses in the report too).
