Start-Up PE - Advice needed please

Hey everyone,

I have the opportunity to join a start-up PE fund, which would target mostly middle market companies within two specific sectors. Has anyone ever joined a start-up PE fund? What should I expect/negotiate for in terms of pay etc. at the Director level?

Thanks!
