Thanks a lot for the pragmatic advice!
Yes, it's 100% my own money. It seems my question was perceived in an unintended way - Why I'm asking here is because I don't want to pay a salary to myself and get double taxed, unless there is some legal/tax requirement that prevents me from working on growing the company without a salary. Thanks for the short answer.
Yes, I did foreign qualification in my home state right after incorporation. I'm bootstrapping it but took the Delaware C Corp approach mainly because of the potential QSBS exit. Thanks for the advice.

Should I pay salary to myself as the founder of a C Corp that makes no money?

I'm the solo founder of a Delaware C Corp that has no income/net income. Just incorporated but got confused by the information all around. Looking for advice here. Since I still have a 9-5 job (yes I know I know..but have a family to feed), adding payroll to the Corporation that has no profit doesn't make sense to me tax wise. Is there any issue (law/tax, etc) if I don't pay myself a salary...

MAL does cover manga (comic books) and anime TV shows. Do you mean a list-tracking website for non-anime/everything content? This could a big topic for an all-in-one giant like Amazon to tackle.

Thank you so much for your input! All good points and I'm taking notes:-).

There are a lot of UI/UX improvements could be made on MAL or anilist. Through my research, the main reasons why users prefer to stay with MAL are (1) largest and up-to-date database; (2) active forum. It's going to be hard to make a ten-year MAL user to switch anyway.

Chrome extension is one of the ideas for user acquisition. A website/app is needed to root users. But maybe there is a different angle from list-tracking...
