Startup founder salary

Question

I have heard from an angel that many investors expect startup founders to refrain from drawing a salary. In your professional experience, what is the best approach to founders' salary, also relating to the rest of the team in early-stage startups? Thank you!

If it were not for the Founder, there would be no Start-up; after all, you are the EXPERT why should your time be free? In other words, why would you employ and pay someone who is only second-rate to do the job you would do?
