First-- take out the emotional aspect of your contribution (I know this is difficult).

Can you calculate your impact on the bottom line? How did you help them save money/make money?

Breakdown all of your job deliverables-- compare & contrast difference with what they would likely pay at market rates. Based on your brief description, you might easily be the equivalent of a $200K/year guy and a full-partner in the business.

Assuming they agree conceptually-- and recognize your contributions have been vital to the teams success. Give them options (not ultimatums) on moving forward from here.
