This is a very rude question, but on this subject of being lean, I looked up your 990, and you pay yourself less than … well, you pay yourself half or a third as much as some of your engineers.

Yes, and our goal is to pay people as close to Silicon Valley’s salaries as possible, so we can recruit very senior people, knowing that we don’t have equity to offer them. We pay engineers very well. [Leans in performatively toward the phone recording the interview.] If anyone’s looking for a job, we pay very, very well.

But you pay yourself pretty modestly in the scheme of things.

I make a very good salary that I’m very happy with.

That's pretty cool. But knowing the number would matter.

IIRC She earns around 400+k per year. Which is a nice salary, but rather low compared to other execs.

LOL it's actually even lower if you look at Schedule J. Her base compensation is only 115,057. It's bonus and incentive comp (76,172) that brings it up.
