How do I know if my equity package is fair?

Fairness depends on your role, company stage, and geographic location. Our analysis compares your grant to peer data for similar roles and companies. A senior engineer at a Series A startup should expect 0.5–2% of the company; an early employee might expect more.

What percentage of the company should I ask for?

This depends on your role, when you join, and company stage. Our report provides benchmarks. As a rough guide: founding engineer (~2–5%), early employee (0.5–2%), mid-stage hire (0.05–0.5%). Negotiate based on your value, not a fixed percentage.
