Dharmesh Shah is an entrepreneur in Boston with lots of helpful information to share among startups. Today he posted some tidbits from a survey on the always fascinating topic of founder compensation.  How much do founders make at various stage of a company’s existence?  How long do they typically remain CEO?  How much equity does an incoming non-founder normally get?  How much equity does a founder retain in a company’s later stages?

The comments on Dharmesh’s post are full of interesting data as well.
