Am I getting a good deal?

I recently started working for a tech startup in SF. I'm a smart engineer who chose not to work for google and facebook. Also i went to an ivy-league school (though this shouldn't make a difference) and graduated last year. The startup has been around for about 2 months and has raised some decent money, + has a ton of frothy investor interest. There are 5 employees - 3 are founders making me employee #2. I've built about 40% of the existing alpha product. There are 2 other engineers.

I'm getting 75k and half a point of equity. There's a 4 year vesting scheme. Am I getting a good deal?
