We are going to need to raise a lot of money; we are developing our own hardware. I don't want to mention more than that because this is a high visibility story now and members of the company frequent HN.

So the first developer was there for a little over a year before I was. And worked for free for a little bit of that. I'm assuming that developer has a solid amount of options. If anything the cofounders just gave that developer stock outright.

0.2% is the total. I have approximately a third of that 0.2% right now.

I would consider I am missing out on about double my current salary. Not to boast but I could definitely reach ~80k no problem.
