Paying yourself as a Founder

We know it can be hard to know what to pay yourself as a founder.

To help solve this, we have collaborated with LiveRem to create a report on how much New Zealand founders pay themselves.

This report compiles anonymised data from 80 New Zealand start ups. The data reveals how founder pay varies by role, gender, revenue stage, and company size.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But there is context, and that can make all the difference when you’re making decisions that affect both your business and your wellbeing.
