The team at Badass Advisors have put a lot of time into thinking about this (see this Medium post: https://medium.com/@markgee/advi... ).
That said, I have mixed feelings about this product; as I’m not really a fan of these ‘calculators’ that tell you how to split equity amongst co-founders, or how much equity to give an employee/advisor. I think that there are too many variables involved and every person is different.
I think that it’s good for people to have points of reference before making any decision like this. I just wouldn’t take whatever number comes out as the exact ‘right’ figure. Treat it as a guideline.
@natelegler@_jacksmith Bingo! The data online is crazy old..valuations and deal types have changed a lot in the past 5 years :) That said we are getting these legacy authors/authorities onboard with our approach and look forward to sharing that soon

I agree with Ben and Jack. I upvoted it though because they don't try to confuse anyone with what their thing does: they say it outright in their pitch: "Calculator TO HELP work out how much equity to give advisors" (I've capitalized the verb that did it for me!) It's just meant to help, not to dictate an outcome!
