In addition, we would be offering market-rate base salary, which is a bit easier to find benchmarks for. The first link was very helpful, however, it didn't seem to include a discussion around ranges of equity for such roles at such a stage, i.e., pre-investment. I've seen some other blog postings on the subject but for post-investment, Series A-stage.
If there are others that have suggestions or data points, they're most welcome! Thanks!
Get an NDA with anyone you work with. "Ideas are easy, execution is hard" is a cop-out excuse by people who don't have any patentable worthwhile ideas of their own!
