Founders tend to be secretive about their salaries. I don’t really blame them. For one reason or another, this whole subject is shrouded in secrecy. But this secrecy means that too many aspiring founders make some serious mistakes when deciding what to pay themselves.Some founders fall in love with full-time salaries. They get security and peace of mind, but this comes at a price: an unwillingness to take risks, to go all in. They get too comfortable, so they’ll never know if they had a great idea.
Great article, thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Could I check the US average salary data, which seems low. It also lower than the EU data ("In the EU, founders generally pay themselves less"), which I don't think quite tees up.
