It sounds like at early stages founder salaries are an issue. Does the number of founders and their salary needs have much of an impact on early valuations?

Say startup A has 3 founders willing to take $100k gross. They hire 2 $100k employees 100k expenses. Startup B is a single founder with a mortgage that needs $100k and hires 4 $100k employees and $100k expenses to get the same amount of work done.

Startup A has 1 year runway on 400k. Startup B has 1 year runway on $600k. Would this be reflected in valuation?
