    In all likelihood a lot of that goes to the top 5 of those 50. If I’m wrong… good.

        Adding up the 7 listed employees there is about $3.5 million, leaving $15.5 million for the remaining 47 employees, giving an average of $360,000 a year per employee. Damn good wage.

        Hmm, COO/CTO making $450k-650k a year is high for a non profit but, not obnoxiously high
