I'm not sure there is any good answer to your question but I noticed something about how you phrased it. You DID NOT say "a killer opportunity to get filthy rich". You DID say "a killer opportunity to buck the cog-in-a-wheel machine".
Doesn't that answer your question? If you accept too small a stake, you will have no power of strategic influence over the firm - you will be a cog in a high-risk firm's machine.
Why isn't your "ask" here "parity with the founders"?
- Ixiaus 17y agoA good way of rephrasing it, thank you. I've never dealt with the hurdles involved in working for an early stage startup... You are correct, too small a stake and I still have no influence (I suppose this would be a case to branch out into the Do It Yourself ethos of founding your own company). They are offering 1-2% equity share, per developer on the team... I suppose, in your words, that is less than parity.
