Situation is a start-up company with venture capital but can’t (won’t) pay my quoted rate (I’m an independent consultant, business reengineering). They want me to come back with something much lower, maybe half.
I’m OK with that IF I can negotiate something in return (and not just lower my price without due consideration). They’ve hinted at future upside (for them, as a company), so I’m wondering if there is a way for me as a non-employee to get stock options if I lower my consulting fee.
I have no experience with non-cash compensation as a consultant. Anyone out there have some good information or ideas?
