home office for startup

I'm retired in the Midwest, but a California startup recruited me for marketing director.  I am only paid in stock, which I purchased for nominal fee, that we hope will gain value next year. So I am out-of-pocket significant expenses for travel, computing technology and printing supplies. Thank you in advance:

 

• As my principal place of business, can I deduct some of home office costs?

• Where can I research how this stock-as-salary value gain/loss should be reported?
