Hi everyone I m Vaidehi, co-founder of 360Me.

You know the feeling: your wearable sends you a new recovery score, your app pings about sleep stages, and your steps hit 10K but then what?

Data, data everywhere, nor an insight to be had.

That line stuck with me (poetic reference fully intended) because it captures exactly what I felt and kept hearing from others: we re swimming in metrics, but still unsure what to do next.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Waseem Daher, co-founder of Pilot, the largest startup-focused accounting company in the US. I'm a 3x founder (my previous ventures were acquired by Oracle and Dropbox) who's raised over $120M from Sequoia, Stripe, Jeff Bezos, and more.

Today we're releasing our 2025 Founder Salary Report with data from 1,800+ founders, and the findings might surprise you:

• Founder salaries dropped 43% in the past year

• AI founders are bucking the trend (paying themselves more)

• Bootstrapped companies jumped 57%

• Only 5.4% of founders pay themselves nothing (down from 9% last year)

We founders talk endlessly about burn rates, runway, and valuations but no one talks about what they pay themselves. It's time to change that.
