Thank you for the thoughts lots to mull over.
Agree 200k isn’t going to be life changing when looking over the lifespan of a career, just quite a bit of fun, so won’t let that be the biggest sway - and it’s probably a best case scenario.
Dilution is something I’m very nervous of in perusing an equity strategy, but just don’t know how to calculate my exposure to it. I just don’t understand the topic enough.
There will be something that feels bitter if the company does sell for that figure and the guys/girls cofounders all land on a few million and me on 200k despite having done a significant amount of the code leg work. But probably bigging myself too much there.
