So you had a new startup every year?

Sorry, i should have been clearer. There were 2 distinct startups i founded during that time. One at the start of 2012, which died mid-2012, and the other started mid-2012 and I worked on all the way through till 2018.

I should also mention, this was in Canada. And yeah, I didn't keep the PW to my previous burner account. Not used to posting anom info :-(

I'm curious, was this pay from raised money or did you actually generate revenue to cover your pay?

When it was 65k it was just from raised money, just to take the focus away from how to pay rent and back on the business. We had revenue, but it was in my opinion insignificant (Less than $1 million).

We bumped it to $150k around the time that we had about $5 million in revenue, and post acquisition it was increased by the purchaser several times.
