Founder Salary Confessions: How Much Should You Pay Yourself? AMA with 3x Founder Waseem Daher

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Waseem Daher, co-founder of Pilot, the largest startup-focused accounting company in the US. I'm a 3x founder (my previous ventures were acquired by Oracle and Dropbox) who's raised over $120M from Sequoia, Stripe, Jeff Bezos, and more.

Today we're releasing our 2025 Founder Salary Report with data from 1,800+ founders, and the findings might surprise you:

  • Founder salaries dropped 43% in the past year

  • AI founders are bucking the trend (paying themselves more)

  • Bootstrapped companies jumped 57%

  • Only 5.4% of founders pay themselves nothing (down from 9% last year)

We founders talk endlessly about burn rates, runway, and valuations but no one talks about what they pay themselves. It's time to change that.
