HN is seriously degraded if this is being downvoted. If this doesn't ring true, then you haven't been a startup founder.


How so? OP said employees at a startup get 25% lower salary than they would at someplace more mainstream. He didn't mention founders making 25% less than they would at a day job.


Who do you think puts up the money that pays the employees?


But HN is so VC-obsessed, it seems like independent, $0-income startups are the edge cases here.
