You're right they do, but the concept of "market value" salary is laughable until after Series A at least.

- sliverstorm 13y agoIf you're getting a salary you simply aren't taking that much risk. You can't argue that employees get a salary and thus don't deserve as much reward, but simultaneously argue that even though founders get a salary, because it is below market rate they deserve more reward. Both parties are getting paid below market rate.
