I am trying to raise seed money. I am currently employed and will not be able to just quit and run my start-up without covering my basic personal expenses. Is it fair/ok to include a minimum wage in an initial investment? If so how much approximately?

I don`t know how to answer your question...
But I can tell you this, there is a great PDF file on the net you can download that may help...

Any thing by Seth Godin is good but this free little file should encourage you at this stage of the game...If I could do anything else to help, I would, tim

The financial portion of your business plan should include the expenses for "people". If that is going to be you - then yes, your "salary" should be included.

As to how much, I would use the amount the business would have pay to someone else to do what ever you will be doing.
