I've been paying $29 for a long time as a founder. I don't have a problem paying a bit more than that as a founder(maybe $35-$40 if I kept all my teams). It should be noted though some founders may feel that paying that 29.95 is their due, since they helped start up the league, as well as made the initial investment.

You must think of the founders as part owners of purebaseball, who gave the working capitol to get things going. The agreement I believe was a lifetime agreement. Founders should realize that paying some additional money for the teams they own is good for the league, that is why I don't mind a small bump.

One idea I was thinking about for founders was keeping the pricing exactly the same for founders, except charging a dollar per team for each one over 3, up to a max of 10 dollars more. This would be a gradual step, and could be looked at again in the next couple of years. Thus founders with 8 teams see their cost jump from $29 to $34(almost 20%), while founders with 13 teams or more see their cost go to $39(a 30% increase). Keep in mind this is coupled with a slight decrease for non founders that take extra teams(in my opinion a sliding scale that drops $1 each time).

The big danger for increasing founders costs is that we could end up with a flood of unmanaged teams as some founders give up teams(many took teams to help out, others might not want to pay extra).

I'm not even sure how many founders there were originally, and how many are still left.
