My gut says first treat it as strictly a service contract.
Equity is a potential bonus, but also a distraction and should not substitute for initial work with people you barely know...structuring the deal right is complex and expensive.
Finally, there may be a good reason that it "has never been done before." Knowing the key players isn't the same as getting them to fall over themselves to pay you.
