💸 We could not agree more Pilot.com and Karen Cahn ! PS : This report is eye opening 👀 https://lnkd.in/ei8mwFAb
Founder & CEO at IFundWomen • Inc. Top 100 Female Founders 2020 • City & State of New York Most Responsible CEOs 2020 • LinkedIn Top Voice in Entrepreneurship 2022 • Worthy 100 2023 • Worth Groundbreaking Women 2024
Founders! The Zero-Pay Founder Era is OVER. The Pilot.com 2025 Founder Salary Report is here, and it's time to rethink what you're paying yourself. I did. Keep reading. 👇 Only 5.4% of founders take $0 salary now (down from 9% last year). You're not alone if you've started prioritizing a sustainable income. 🫣 I’ll admit it, as a founder, I’ve gone many times with $0 pay. I thought I was being noble reinvesting my salary back into the business, but you know what? Not paying myself wasn’t noble; it was unsustainable, and honestly, it was giving me anxiety. So, I started paying myself a salary that my company could afford. Here’s what our peers are doing: • 66% more founders are paying themselves a salary! • The average founder salary is down 31% • AI founders pay themselves 20% more than the average The bottom line? Paying yourself a salary is NOT selfish–it’s smart. Pay yourself enough to eliminate financial anxiety and focus on building. Your mental health (and startup) deserve it. Download the full Pilot.com 2025 Founder Salary Report here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eXGcYmYC 🔗 and benchmark your compensation against thousands of startups in Pilot’s community. Your board meeting salary discussion starts here. Go get paid, people. #Pilot #FSR2025 #PilotFounderSalaryReport #PilotHQ #FounderPay #FounderSalaries #FounderSalary #StartupAccounting #StartupBookkeeping #OutsourcedCFO
