Apologies if that came across as a personal attack, just a general comment on the expectations of a very early stage CTO. To be clear I don't think your messaging is off, just that that is one of the reasons tech startups aren't able to hire, ie they don't know how to sell the opportunity.
However, if the OP is accurate it sounds like you/your organization went through at least a period of disorganization.
You deserve a ton of credit for what sounds like a sane approach to technology and including compensation upfront.
