The easiest way to determine the value of your social business sweat equity is working out how much everyone would have earned for they work if they'd done it for another company. That said, the worth of sweat equity works out greater than the labour time, as it includes the value it's added to the organisation.
In summary, 1% equity can be a good offer if the startup has strong potential, your role is significant, and the overall compensation package is competitive. However, it could also be seen as low depending on the context. It's essential to assess all these factors before making a decision.
Structuring a sweat equity agreement Role and equity: Ensure that equity is offered in exchange for work performed rather than just as an incentive. Also make sure the role of the co-founder, employee, or advisor is clearly defined so everyone understands what is expected from them.
Sweat equity is a funding model commonly used by startups. It compensates a stakeholder for the work and time they contribute by giving them an ownership stake in a company.
Let's say an entrepreneur who invested $100,000 in their start-up sells a 25% stake to an angel investor for $500,000, which gives the business a valuation of $2 million or $500,000 ÷ 0.25. Their sweat equity is the increase in the value of the initial investment, from $100,000 to $1.5 million, or $1.4 million.
