Considering joining an early-stage startup, but you don't know how much equity to ask for? My latest video is all about how much equity is normal for founders, employees, and advisors to have in pre-seed and seed-stage startups. Roughly speaking: Co-founders: 20%+ if joining at the outset, 5-15% if joining post institutional funraising Employees: 1-5% if a key employee (towards the lower end if post-seed round), .1-.5% for rank-and-file employees. Advisors: .1% all the way to 1%, depending on status and level of involvement. #startups #equity

🔍 Here's why we started our Venture Scouts program and how it's going: 👇 ▶ Less than 1% of Venture-Backed companies become unicorns. ▶ Less than 1% of companies become Venture-Backed. That means less than 0.01% of companies are billion-dollar ideas. 👀 At Moonarch, we realized that the more companies that cross our path and which we help... → The greater our odds of meeting one of those mythical teams building a unicorn. 📈 This realization led to only one conclusion... → See & support more startups. 💡 This is what our Venture Scouts program is about. Over the past several weeks, ✅ Scouts have brought in dozens of promising startups ✅ Exposure to uni'-founded companies skyrocketed ✅ New geographies in our pipeline every week Our program’s thesis is simple: → Real Value, Real Opportunities 🛫 For those willing to show up and put in the effort, our scout's program is your gateway, so open the door. If you are a VC looking to hire talented young adults interested in Venture Capital careers, please let us know so we can tell you more about our community.
