When you put it that way, a $20k couch costs you the same amount of equity as you would give a senior engineer in a post-series-A company.

I wasn't the one to downvote you, but: that's not really comparable. You could say that a $1k computer in a company valued at $5m is the same as FaceBook spending $10m at their valuation... but it makes absolutely no difference.

If I had a startup, I'd probably rather have the senior engineer than the couch.
