Peter Thiel is not personally an investor in Brave. The firm he's a partner in (Founders Fund) has a small seed series investment, which was led by Cyan Banister. Some first floor engineers at Brave have more equity than that small investment constitutes. Repeating falsehoods once you know they are false is lying, so please don't.

Is "first floor engineers" an SV-ism (or Brave-ism) that indicates something like "early employees"?

It's wider than SV, startup folks anywhere know it. Yes, early employees.
