常见问题
How much equity should an advisor get?
Common ranges run 0.1 to 0.5 percent for occasional advice and up to 1 percent for deeply involved advisors, usually with a vesting schedule and no cliff or a short one.
Do advisory shares dilute founders?
Yes, like any equity grant. They usually come from the option pool, so budget them alongside employee grants.
