PayPal创始人& Facebook天使投资人Peter Thiel：他在决定投资一家初创公司之前，他最看重的因素之一是创始人CEO给自己的薪水。他认为创始人的薪水越低，成功的可能性越大，这样他的利益就与其他股东一致。他发现在实际投资之前，如果只问一个问题，就得问这个。 | ||

Peter Thiel: Best Predictor of Startup Success Is Low CEO Pay | ||
|
In a long-ranging discussion today at TechCrunch50, investor Peter Thiel (PayPal, Facebook, Slide) gave his thoughts on what is the best predictor of startup success. At the Founder’s Fund, one of the most important factors he likes to look at before deciding to invest in a startup is how much the CEO is paying himself. (This is also a factor that one of his investments, YouNoodle, looks at to value private startups). Says Thiel: | ||
|
The lower the CEO salary, the more likely it is to succeed. | ||
|
The CEO’s salary sets a cap for everyone else. If it is set at a high level, you end up burning a whole lot more money. It aligns his interest with the equity holders. But [beyond that], it goes to whether the mission of the company is to build something new or just collect paychecks. | ||
|
In practice we have found that if you only ask one question, ask that. | ||
|
In Startupland, everybody should be working towards the same goal: that big juicy exit. That’s the only payday any CEO should be worried about (even though more than half of them will never get it). | ||
|
What’s the average salary for CEOs from funded startups? Thiel was hesitant to answer, but eventually said “$100-125k.” |
