Compensating Founders: A Historical Oversight

Founder compensation has been inadequately managed over the past 10 to 20 years, with a tendency to either ignore or underestimate the importance of fair compensation for founders and CEOs. This neglect stems from the perception that these individuals are already overpaid. A critical issue arises when startups fail, leading dedicated founders to be undercompensated after investing years of effort.
