    Total Compensation Formula

    Total Comp = Base Salary × 1.30 (benefits & taxes) + Equity Value
    

    Fully-Loaded Cost:

    • Base salary
    • Payroll taxes (7.65% FICA)
    • Benefits (health insurance, 401k): $10K-$15K per employee
    • Other (workspace, equipment, software): $5K-$10K per employee

    Rule of Thumb: Multiply base salary by 1.3-1.4 for fully-loaded cost

    Geographic Adjustments

    San Francisco / New York: +20-30% above benchmarks Seattle / Boston / Los Angeles: +10-20% Austin / Denver / Chicago: +0-10% Remote / Other US Cities: -10-20% International: Varies widely by country

    Equity Allocation

    Equity by Role and Stage

    Founders:

    • First founder: 40-60%
    • Second founder: 20-40%
    • Third founder: 10-20%
    • Vesting: 4 years with 1-year cliff

    Early Employees (Pre-Seed):

    • First engineer: 0.5-2.0%
    • First 5 employees: 0.25-1.0% each

    Seed Stage Hires:

    • VP/Head level: 0.5-1.5%
    • Senior IC: 0.1-0.5%
    • Mid-level: 0.05-0.25%
    • Junior: 0.01-0.1%

    Series A Hires:

    • C-level (CTO, CFO): 1.0-3.0%
    • VP level: 0.3-1.0%
    • Director level: 0.1-0.5%
    • Senior IC: 0.05-0.2%
    • Mid-level: 0.01-0.1%
    • Junior: 0.005-0.05%

    Equity Pool Sizing

    Option Pool by Round:

    • Pre-Seed: 10-15% reserved
    • Seed: 10-15% top-up
    • Series A: 10-15% top-up
    • Series B+: 5-10% per round

    Pre-Funding Dilution: Investors often require option pool creation before investment, diluting founders.

    Example:

    Pre-money: $10M
    Investors want 15% option pool post-money
    
    Calculation:
    Post-money: $15M ($10M + $5M investment)
    Option pool: $2.25M (15% × $15M)
    Founders diluted by pool creation before new money
    

    Organizational Design

    Reporting Structure

    Pre-Seed:

    Founders (flat structure)
    ├── Contractors
    └── First hires (report to founders)
    

    Seed:

    CEO
    ├── Engineering Lead (2-4 engineers)
    ├── Sales/Growth Lead (1-2 reps)
    ├── Product Manager
    └── Operations
    

    Series A:

    CEO
    ├── CTO / VP Engineering (6-20 people)
    │   ├── Engineering Manager(s)
    │   └── Individual Contributors
    ├── VP Sales (5-15 people)
    │   ├── Sales Manager
    │   ├── Account Executives
    │   └── SDRs
    ├── Head of Product (2-5 people)
    │   ├── Product Managers
    │   └── Designers
    ├── Head of Customer Success (2-5 people)
    └── CFO / Finance Lead (2-5 people)
        ├── Recruiter
        └── Operations
    

    Span of Control

    Manager Ratios:

    • First-line managers: 4-8 direct reports
    • Directors: 3-5 direct reports (managers)
    • VPs: 3-5 direct reports (directors)
    • CEO: 5-8 direct reports (executive team)

    Full-Time vs. Contract

    Use Full-Time for:

    • Core product development
    • Sales (revenue-generating roles)
    • Mission-critical operations
    • Institutional knowledge roles

    Use Contractors for:

    • Specialized short-term needs (legal, accounting)
    • Variable workload (design, marketing campaigns)
    • Skills outside core competency
    • Testing role before FTE hire
    • Geographic expansion before permanent presence

    Cost Comparison

    Full-Time:

    • Lower hourly cost
    • Benefits and overhead
    • Long-term commitment
    • Cultural fit matters

    Contract:

    • Higher hourly rate ($75-$200/hour vs. $40-$100/hour FTE equivalent)
    • No benefits or overhead
    • Flexible engagement
    • Easier to scale up/down

    Hiring Velocity

    Realistic Timeline

    Role Opening to Hire:

    • Junior: 6-8 weeks
    • Mid-Level: 8-12 weeks
    • Senior: 12-16 weeks
    • Executive: 16-24 weeks

    Time to Productivity:

    • Junior: 4-6 months
    • Mid-Level: 2-4 months
    • Senior: 1-3 months
    • Executive: 3-6 months

    Planning Buffer

    Always add 2-3 months buffer to hiring plans.

    Example: If need engineer by July 1:

    • Start recruiting: April 1 (12 weeks)
    • Productivity: September 1 (2 months ramp)

    Budget Planning

    Compensation as % of Revenue

    Early Stage (Seed):

    • Total comp: 120-150% of revenue (burning cash to grow)
    • Engineering: 50-60%
    • Sales: 30-40%
    • Other: 20-30%

    Growth Stage (Series A):

    • Total comp: 70-100% of revenue
    • Engineering: 35-45%
    • Sales: 25-35%
    • Other: 20-30%

    Headcount Budget Formula

    Total Comp Budget = Σ (Role Count × Fully-Loaded Cost × % of Year)
    
    Example:
    3 Engineers × $202K × 100% = $606K
    2 AEs × $230K × 75% (mid-year start) = $345K
    1 PM × $162K × 100% = $162K
    Total: $1.1M
    

    Quick Start

    To plan team composition:

    1. Identify stage - Pre-seed, seed, or Series A
    2. Define roles - What functions are needed now
    3. Prioritize hires - Critical path for business goals
    4. Set compensation - Base salary + equity by level
    5. Plan timeline - Account for recruiting and ramp time
    6. Calculate budget - Fully-loaded cost × headcount
    7. Design org chart - Reporting structure and span of control
    8. Allocate equity - Fair allocation that preserves pool
