For founders who may not know this, but paying to pitch is predatory and NOT the standard in the industry. You always have leverage with investors, it's not a favor or charity. Not $10, not $100, not any sum in "donations". Shame on you @mannyfernandez

Adding more transparency here - founders are typically the least paid in salary for years. We are going to be paid 52k-77k LESS than the our earliest team members. The upside is always in the equity. Ownership, not salary, creates generational wealth.

We followed Stripe’s model to start. A 6 figure salary that’s live-able in SF and super generous equity based on when you join. We paid everyone $20k MORE than what we paid ourselves. That equity is now generational wealth.
