I was offered a large raise/promotion at my current company (Series A Funded, been here since seed round). I have the option to do stock or cash or a combo. Anyone have an idea on what to do for something like this? We have good funding and are considered a first mover in our vertical. It's SaaS but we are having issues figuring out our business model and product. We have a lot of F100 customers though. any suggestions?

Depends on your risk tolerance, immediate cash needs, and how much you believe in the company. Shares could net out significant value if the company succeeds i.e. IPOs or is acquired. If you really interested try and model out 3 scenarios over 3-5 yrs...heavy shares, 50/50 split shares/cash, heavy cash. You could also risk adjust each scenario. I know the only certainty about a model is that it's wrong, but could give you a ballpark idea.

If you are young I would potentially take a risk and go with more shares...

Couldn’t agree more here. It all comes down to risk tolerance.

Based on alot of market trends last year, a SaaS company that has raised Series A has a higher probability to raise a Series B which effectively pushes up the valuation. This is mainly because VC's have seen some potential and the risk of going nowhere after a Series A has reduced. The company also has FT100 customers which is a huge deal. Depending on your age and lifestyle, my recommendation is 60/40 stocks/cash (Basically more weight to stocks). Company also has enough cash to get the correct people to figure out the business model now. If the company succeeds your stocks payout will be significantly higher than any cash increase you get now.
