Not that it matters too much, equity is equity, but how much sweat equity are we talking here? How much of your time did you invest for that 3%? I would consider that when thinking about how much the equity is worth to me. Again, this is only a small factor, but a factor none the less. If you put 10 hours in $2160 might be more appealing than if you had 100+ hours of your time invested.

From my perspective, the equity is a bonus. I already got paid what I expected for the work I did. I don't have a dollar figure in mind.

No matter you perspective, it belongs to you. Value it just as much as other forms of compensation you labored for.
