Start-Up Founder Compensation

Alex Lewis
Apr 1, 2022

Over the past year at Seedcamp, one of the most recurring questions that came to me from our founders, was what should we be paying ourselves?

There are a few models out there, but struggled to find anything reliable, that was based on peer data, rather than a complicated set of algebra. As a consequence, we ran a survey on our portfolio with the purpose to provide a clear set of results, based on peer data, absent of bias, for free. A starting point for founders to construct a compelling case to empower their position, especially for those from diverse backgrounds, not an investor-led set of guidelines. More #powertothefounder
