Can a TN be issued only when performing pre-arranged services for a US entity that involves monetary compensation?

What about compensation that may involve an equity percentage? ( not to the point of controlling shareholder ).

Start up company A would like to arrange for the temporary engagement of an individual's services in line with an existing TN occupation. However, since company A is a start up there is no contract or agreement for monetary compensation, only agreement for equity percentage.. which may or may not be worth anything of course depending on company success and funding.
 
CBP wil proably deny such arrangement, first on the grounds that your pay is insufficient, and also on the grounds that to be promised equity percentage in the firm would imply a non-arm's length relationship with the employer, akin to self-sponsorhip.

But, you have nothing to lose by trying.
