If the CEO sets the ceiling pay, and an acceptable range is $100-125k, what then constitutes acceptable pay for (non-CEO) founders? Is $60k too high (given reasonable funding, pre-profitability)? $80k? Just curious at what the usual funding agreements end up at.

I don't know the answer, but if I were CEO, I wouldn't care if I wasn't the highest paid person - as long as I am happy with the % of the company I owned.

So if this view is reasonable, I don't think that the CEO's salary is a ceiling.
