Curious here - is that £20,000-£30,000 an annual salary.. for a CTO ? With only 5% equity in a startup with no existing assets?

The only candidates you get are going to be people trying to scam you...


I was interested until I saw that salary. Try £60,000 - £90,000 and you might find some decent CTOs.


Thanks for your feedback. We understand we may not be able to get a very experienced CTO. The 5% equity is very much negotiable and it depends on the experience. The application is fairly simple and does not require a very senior experienced developer. What level of salary would you consider as a minimum along with equity? We would still like to hear from you if you have any further feedback.


At that rate, expect about 30/40% equity


The 5% equity is very much negotiable and it depends on the experience. While we may not have many tangible assets, we have a UI/UX developed, the application does not require a very senior experienced developer and our intangible assets such as our contacts in the industry money cannot buy. We would still like to hear from you if you have any further feedback.
