Super cool survey! And interesting results.

Does anyone know if it shares how the answers were solicited?

Every survey of this size has substantial sampling bias (which doesn't invalidate the result, just helps us to more rationally interpret it).

[edit] there's some color at the bottom, though I'm still curious to know more.

> The 2022 Founder Salary Survey was conducted over a five-week period starting in May 2022, during which we reached out to founders through our extended networks and elsewhere online.

> We received a total of 516 responses.

> Over 60% of our responses were from either remote Founders or Founders in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Leaning on a network is a good way to scale up quickly, although it's probably the principle limiting factor on the scope of conclusions, drawn from this report.

"How much do Founders, who are 0-1 degrees of separation from a company that uses Pilot, pay themselves?" is still a pretty interesting thing to read.
