Seed funding slows in Silicon Valley
Yup. Assume there's two founders both of which draw a 50k salary, likely after months of bootstrapping. 400k is not even three engineers in SF.

400k is like the fully-loaded cost of a
single
engineer if you're trying to hire "top talent" and actually get them to come work for you (i.e. they're valuing any equity you're offering at the likely result of $0).

But those "top talent" engineers will be starting their own company so you don't have to worry about that.
