Any startup advisors here? What was your first deal/offer as an advisor in terms of equity? How did you negotiate (did you?) for more?

I’m an expert in my field and have already helped build the product (a little). I’m getting a lot of joy from helping but don’t want to sell myself short.

DM me--I have a survey preso on this based on stage. I need your email to send it. Thx!

Can't. It's bootleg from a company's preso. But happy to email it if you DM me your email.

Op, do you mind sharing what your expertise is on?

Branding, talent, recruitment, candidiate experience.

It depends on the value add. I’ve been on both sides of this fence but I can tell you that as a co founder we gave fractions of a percent purely bc we were leveraging their network, their value add/expertise was basically negligible otherwise.

Idk what those are, no experience with either so can’t comment on that

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.
