Previously a startup founder. Will it be counted as work experience?

Hi,

I started my own internet technology startup in 2014, got selected for an accelerator program, and had to shut it down in 2015. I got my company registered as a partnership company and I've got a digital copy of the partnership deed (an official document that mentions the owners of the business and the rules in case of a dispute). But I didn't take a salary during this period. Will this one year be accepted as my work experience?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Anyone? I have the same question.

Work experience has to be paid - so no.
