was at a startup where the split was 72.5/10/10 (eng)/7.5 (me) when we got into an incubator; investors tried to convince the ceo that we should do an even split iirc, but he felt the business was built up enough that the equity split was fair. we were all dumb kids (oldest was 21), and didn't know what we were doing. when the 16 hour days with no pay were too much for me, the lack of equity made it very easy for me to walk away.

i would never do a split like that again, and would not recommend it. i still can't watch Silicon Valley because it reminds me of those times haha.
