About
Founder guide to GTM compensation — what you can afford, how to set OTE and equity, budget guardrails, valuing packages for candidates, and negotiation scripts when cash is tight. Covers hiring first AE/SDR/VP and founder-side offer/counter-offer tactics. Use when a founder asks how to comp sales hires, negotiate offers, explain equity, or defend quota math. Triggers on: "founder comp", "how much to pay first AE", "negotiate sales offer as founder", "comp budget startup", "what equity to offer", "candidate wants more money", "can't afford VP Sales salary", "founder hiring compensation".
