Price Negotiation

A hopeful entrepreneur asks a software developer if he will work on the entrepreneur’s idea for a 90% equity share.

“Of course!” replies the software developer.

“Will you do it for 3% equity with a four year vesting period and 2 year cliff?” asks the entrepreneur.

The software developer blinks, “Do you think I’m stupid?!” he responds.

“We’ve already established that,” quips the entrepreneur, “now we’re just negotiating price.”

Ba-dum tis.

You of course know the original joke.
