I wonder how this would shake out in a consulting company?

The difficulty in a consulting company is that (unlike a SaaS company) there is typically a 1:1 ratio between hours worked and money earned.

Our company does many of the same things, but in the end, we're still tied to the billable hour. I talked about it briefly here: http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2012/may/31/lincoln-loop-everyon...

Wow..just read your post. A couple questions...

  How many people are in the company? 
  Usually being the owner and founder you get more money. How do you avoid "The boss takes all the money" comment. Not saying you are, but I think this comes   up even if your making only a little more then everyone else. 
  What happens when a developer asks for more money then your willing to give?
