Right, if he does work for them, he is worth a full time salary for a new software engineer. That is at minimum, he can argue that he is worth a company founder salary.

Founder salaries are generally not high (at least until the company becomes mature). They own a (significant) portion of the company and want to minimize burn.

But when the founder sells and remains working they generally get a good income.
