Really cool article. One perhaps dumb question because I don't know much about these things. How do you determine salaries for a non-profit?

Essentially the same as you determine salary at any other company:

In the early days there's no structure, you just get on with it. As the company grows, generally a board of directors (or non-profit: board of trustees) act as an independent governance level for the org above the exec team and (amongst other things) determine executive pay.
