On: Ask HN: My first startup offer

Smells bad. The neatness of their future plans is in itself suspicious, and the percentage of the company you're being offered is low.

This is all looking forward. Of course, things look neater when it's all on paper...

What would you throw out as a reasonable amount of equity expect, given the situation?

Hard to say without knowing more details, but on the whole I don't think I'd take the job at all.

Maybe you could suggest beyond 'neatness' what seems so fishy about it? I'm a wide open mind.

3 founders, none who can code, and who propose to give the people who are going to build the product so little of the company. These situations do not turn out well unless the founders are Bezos.

Thanks Paul.
