I'm just curious, to be honest, as I'm thinking of the typical startup scenario where you might have a bunch of programmers with low equity and relatively low salaries compared to a contractor.

Very interesting concept regardless, if I'm ever in the market for an MVP this definitely seems more attractive than the typical outsourced team.

I believe it depends on: - How relevant the project is to the startup niche - How interested the developers are in the startup success - The situation the startup is in at the moment: maturity, cash in the bank etc "This definitely seems more attractive than the typical outsourced team." I'm glad we share this opinion.
