It's just that I don't intend to stay with this project after the MVP stage, and don't want further commitment. Insisting on equity will make things complicated.

Anyone taking on similar work, eg just plans to do the initial MVP work but lines up a standard equity stake as part of their contract?

I've heard of deals where say I discount my rate by X in exchange for Y% equity. Would love some rule of thumb numbers of what X and Y are.
