Bro will you be able to get funding on your own? Surely they will be raising money on your work, but suppose that they won't get funded and as a majority shareholder are you willing to put in money from your pocket? Believe me you don't want to go down that road I was on similar paths as yours we have our MVP ready but at the end our CTO got greedy and asked for the majority, unfortunately our Co-founder left and till now we aren't able to raise funds

thank you for responding, but I'm a little confused by your reply - how am I a majority shareholder(pardon me if this sounds dumb as i may be missing out on the technicalities) aren't the founders(2) the majority shareholders? Also, I'll be demanding a 10% consultancy fee on the project costs + coming in as founding team members..that virtually secures our position against the chance of not getting funding or general chaos

COO position at a startup.

I was offered COO position at a startup. Both the founders are from Tech background and want me to overlook the day-to-day operations including marketing, sales, finance and customer success atleast for the next 1 year. Although the startup was started 2 years ago, it was in stealth mode and started generating a couple of lakh revenue in the last few months. Raised funds from family and friends round of about 1.5 Crore. What is the ideal equity amount that I can ask for considering the cash component is bare minimum?

How much equity should I ask?

I'm considering an offer from a BLR based startup which is >Series D. This is for a Growth role. Currently in a Series B startup where I have been for about 3 years now (been here since inception) and have 1% equity. What would be the right % of equity to ask for while making the switch? 9 YOE. Would also be helpful if anyone can share the benchmarking of % equity for maybe every Series for the larger benefit of the community. TIA.

How does equity works for founding engineer?

I got a offer where i will get the equity. Does people really make money when company get sold considering in my case if i get 1% equity. Also how does it work? Suppose when we start valuation of the company is 1 cr so my part will be 1L. Now in the next round suppose the valuation is 10cr then does it increase my equity to 10L or it dilute my % of equity? Suppose if the company is sold at 100cr, do i really get 1 cr? Kindly let me know how it works and really people make money or not if it get sold.
