The number looks great. Is there a big increase compared with your current TC

Location makes a big difference as well.“Current Valuation” is highly speculative unless the company is public. So don’t count that as part of your comp, realistically. 9 out of 10 startups fail, so that “$60k” is most likely going to be $0. (And there’s only so much that you can do to prevent that.)

Series B comp can vary a lot based on market, company growth, etc. Base looks really good though. For options, I’d aim for 0.2% though can depend on above.

I’d be careful of joining a start up in the current environment. ￼ Ask them what’s  the current cash flow is? ￼
