Hearing from an experienced investor who has survived adversity and prevailed is always motivating. It may be frightening when your portfolio goes from green to red, but if you have invested in strong firms, you should maintain growing them and stick to your goal.
I don’t think i need a finance advisor though . I can manage my own money and investment. Paying someone to tell me how to manage my hard earned money, funny!!!
This is useful information; I copied her full name and pasted it into my browser; her website popped up top search and her qualifications are excellent. Thanks for sharing. I will write her an email shortly!
6:00-7:45 - so true. Made the mistake of paying ourselves too little as founders in my previous venture and it definitely does put a lot of personal stress. Super valuable info overall. These things do need to be publicised.
Great content and advice. Getting yearly board approval for the key executive's salaries goes a long way AS WELL AS having a party approve founders expenses. A clear responsibility matrix is also a good solution.
President of France…😂. Love everything about this episode as someone who just decided today to start my own company. Especially the oversight of your own companies. I am all about the hustle! 😎
Great question. these are a country wide average, although about 60% of the data is from Silicon Valley. We do see slightly lower numbers in some area like TX or FL, but not really very much. We've seen salaries (for all types of tech employees and founders) start to become pretty standard, with not a lot of regional variation. If you are a founder of a Silicon Valley startup, and you are are able to raise professional funding, you should feel confident asking for the typical amount, regardless of where you are in the US (in our opinion).

Hopefully I can get a better insight into my portfolio.

Thank you Jason and Scott. This is more well-rounded conversation with most of the contents I have seen. I learned a lot.

I needed to hear this! ❤ So good on the personal runway. All so needed info, and so timely!
Love it Jay, keep this up...!
Great info for founders.
Is the data similar for a technical founder in CTO role instead of CEO?
but, what if I already have sales? I'm not really burning investor money to pay myself.
Curious how these numbers change outside of Silicon Valley. Are these numbers a countrywide average?
