Meh, I disagree. 7% of equity can net some top talent, and I don&#x27;t think any VC can claim to match what 7% worth of talent can bring. This is of course, only true if money isn&#x27;t an issue, and for a later stage company, money won&#x27;t be an issue. Instead, equity is the scarcer resource, and selling 7% of it for a measly 120k should be an absolute negative signal to future investors.
