In a small poll of its members by ExpertCEO, an online community for senior executives, 76 CEOs from venture-backed companies on average expected modest increases in salary this year and in 2011.

These executives reported an average salary of $238,000 in 2009, and they expect that number to climb to $250,000 this year and $262,000 in 2011.
