Can you tell in percentages % (Holding in Company)

Software Engineer

percentage = amount/valuation (25cr)

Standard ESOP pool size 10-15% (2.5-3.75cr)

Cto should take 3-6%; director at 0.5-1.5%

What about Tech Lead & Head of Technology?

Not sure. Titles become very ‘vague’ at early stages especially lead/head. A GPM equivalent should probably get 0.2-0.4%. But founders are very stingy in giving away equity at early stages. 
  
 Typically reserve a higher set for leadership hires during seed stage, and then hope valuation grows to give lower% to mid level. Junior levels don’t get esops

Strategy & Operations

CTC x2 -3x worth esops if it’s series A/B higher if pre series A

Can you tell in terms of percentage holding in the company for all the roles (for e.g. 2% of the company for X Role)

That’s not how esops are given in most companies.

Chief Business Officer

What should be the numbers for Growth/Marketing leadership roles?

Not sure my assumptions are: 
  
 Growth Market Head: 0.25-0.5% 
 CMO: 1-1.5%

Program Manager

Standard ESoP pool is 10 to 15% 
 I believe: general employes (founding or early): 0.1 to 0.15 % 
 Then: 
 0.2 to 0.5% 
 0.25 to 1% 
 1 to 2% 
 1 to 5 % 
 Depend on the importance, involvement and expertise.

As a software engineer with 1.5yrs of experience, how much ESOPs shall I ask from a Seed funded startup. I am here since initial days of company.

Right amount of ESOPs

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

How much ESOPs can I ask from an early stage startup (incubated). Valuation is around 12 cr. 
I have agreed to take a 50% paycut on my fixed, but not sure about ESOPs. Please advice.

ESOPs doubts

Product Manager

Hi, I got an offer from a Series B startup and they are giving me 3000 shares of ESOPs vested over 4 years. Right now the value of each shares are worth $5 and has a potential to grow after new funding rounds this year. I feel 3000 shares is less and want to negotiate for more. 

In your experience can anyone tell me how much ESOPs (shares) have you received from new startups? And was it benefecial in the long run?

Any input is appreciated.

How much ESOPs should I ask from a Series B startup?

Analyst

Hello guys,
I would want to know what is the benefit of getting ESOPs in an early stage startup?
The startup has a great team and working on a promising product. 
I have been offered a package with somewhat lower fixed component and somewhat higher ESOPs. Need insightful pointers here. TIA :)

Value of ESOPs in early stage startups?

The ESOP is a bit of a blind bet.  
  
 It's paper money that can get you a windfall if all goes to plan and execution, solution, pricing, market readiness amongst other things, all line up over the next few years.  
  
 I wouldn't take a pay cut in lieu of ESOPs.  Keep the real money real and the paper money as an outside bet.

Sales Manager

I’m considering joining as a founding engineer at an early stage startup who is just about to sign a $4M seed round.

They offered to match my current base and a $20,000 in ESOPs. 

When joining at such early stage companies, how should I think of ESOPs so that I can better negotiate. I’m banking on this idea going big and I want to get as much ESOPs as possible to maximise my returns in the future.

Human Resources

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hello all! 
I am working as HR Head in a growth stage startup in Bangalore. So many people here talk about compensation, culture, growth etc. Happy to answer questions related to HR/Culture/Startups.

People & Culture Manager

I have 6 years experience. My current base/fixed is 60 LPA. (I also got a 5 lakh bonus and 5 lakh of my ESOPs vested this year making my total vested about 30 lakh. So the total comp is 70). 

I'm being offered a senior engineer position in an early stage startup (as part of the founding engineer team). They haven't given an offer yet.

Being early stage, the emphasis will most likely be on ESOPs. How do I evaluate this and set my expectations? (If I were to switch to a mature company, I believe the hikes usually are between 15-20%? How does this work for early stage startups?)

Salary expectation at early stage startup

Hi, what are some average salary of CPO, Head of Product, SVP of Product at mid to late stage startups? I understand it will be a mix of cash + equity. What are those levels?

Growth Manager

Eg. Seed -> Series A. What percentage of your CTC should be ESOPs across stages?

How much ESOPs do you ask for when moving to a company at a different stage?

I am being offered 30% of CTC component as ESOPs (1 crore liquid pay + 30 lakh ESOPs). It's a Series B consumer tech brand. 

Are ESOPs still a thing? What should I do?

I recently cleared the interviews for a very well seed funded startup. I want to know how should I negotiate? HR has asked me to tell the expectations, how to benchmark it?

Also, how much ESOPs should I ask for?
