2% "and no compensation at this point" is not a good idea. My first startup with a couple of friends asking me to build them a site for 3% equity and some percentage of the sales. They valued their idea wayyyy too much. Half year later, they raised it to 15%.
If you can build it yourself and like the idea. You should do it. Their 2% with no salary is insulting.
