In partnership with Oxygen Advisors
The Founder Pay Report is back for 2026
We're partnering with Oxygen Advisors to help founders contribute real insights that help shape better conversations with boards, investors, and each other.
And we want you involved
Last year, we launched our first-ever Founder Pay Report with Oxygen Advisors. The feedback was incredible, providing the ecosystem with its first real look into the nuances of founder pay. This year, we're bringing it back - bigger and better.
By joining the 2026 report, you're helping us build a real, honest source of truth that gives every founder the confidence to pay themselves fairly.
