That does not sound competitive for the DC area - lead frontend engineers make $120k+ easily around the area, I find it hard to believe more than $90k can't be offered to an iOS lead.
There are definitely DC area companies paying those salaries, but they are much more established and well funded (of course) and for seed size companies in the area we are competitive. Note what I mentioned about our team size.
Our salaries will rise as we grow past the bootstrap/seed phase.
