Salary negotiation startup

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with negotiating salary's specifically for start up companies. I was told by the recruiter that 80K would be the base, and that he doesn't see how much more the company could really give.

I was hoping to be more in the 85K-87K range as a base salary. I'm not too sure the best way to negotiate or even with this job market I should try. Thoughts?
