Is ~£1.4k/month before or after taxes? I would say it is very low in either case, even for the UK (I've heard about a lot stories of poor salaries in the UK, especially in games). Plus take into account most startups don't work out in the end, so the 2% is unlikely to amount to anything. Good luck anyway. EDIT: I only saw the 44k thing after posting. That would get to a basic livable salary, so that's good. As someone else suggests, get it in writing and also consider requiring it in less than 12 months or so. You may be looking at 2 yrs work before significant funding can be found (and they're unlikely to pay 44k salary to you if they only raise 150k in the short term).
