comment Minimum wage laws and startups?
I would also say that there's one example that proves my question very well: Steve Jobs was famous for accepting $1/year of salary(?) for being the CEO of Apple, Inc. I can't imagine that he was classified as an independent contractor. (For one, the IRS would have been looking very carefully at the contractor vs employee issues in such a large company). So, what would have his official status have been?

comment Are co-founders employees? Do they need to be paid minimum wage?
I'm sorry, I misquoted you. "If they choose not to be employees, they need not receive wage"

... oh, I see, given the accepted answer by Stephen. I agree with your advice about misclassifying workers, and believe that would be an easy trap to fall into (miscategorization). I've seen paid projects often fall into that trap - I would think it would be even harder to prove independent contractor status in a stereotypical 80 hour/week startup.

"If they choose not to be employees, they need to receive wage" - can you point me to the section of the US Labor Laws (and/or say state of CA department of labor) that says that?

Would minimum wage apply to a salaried (overtime exempt) employee?

Hi. Thank you for your answer, but I'm confused about what in my original question made you think this was an employee vs contractor issue.
