A handshake is not a valid contract, and in any-case, the other party agreed to a moderate salary until a series A on that same handshake.

As I said, the absence of specificity on salary may be problematic to the existence of the contract (or not; whether the salary conditions agreed to as described are specific enough in the circumstances is potentially a tricky question even with a known jurisdiction, and there's been no specification of where this agreement occurred and what law it would be governed by), and the absence of payment of wages is quite likely a breach if a contract exists (but probably immaterial to whether a contract exists in the first place.)
