The open-source movement is inspiring. It's amazing that some of our best technology is developed in the open, and made freely available to everyone.
Despite this, open-source sees chronically underinvestment, because we lack systems that reward people who contribute to the open-source commons. We believe people can and should be paid for their open-source labors of love, and want to make open-source truly sustainable by compensating open-source maintainers and contributors.
