We're invited to debate open source funding at @ow2 ๐ฐ๐ป
Did you miss it? Here's our point! ๐
Open source suffers from a significant economic disparity: despite a market size of $30.2 billion in 2023, only a few developers are compensated for their contributions. Why is this the case?
Currently, there are two prevalent models. On one hand, projects can adhere strictly to the community ethos, aiming to be truly community-led and decentralized. However, this often leads to a lack of funding and resources. On the other hand, projects can opt for a more traditional centralized company structure with a clear business model and attract investors. Yet, this model concentrates decision-making power and benefits in the hands of shareholders.
We were then delving into how we can combine the strengths of both approaches: maintaining a community-driven ethos while achieving commercial success. ๐ก
๐ฅ 2nd place among 180 competitors at @thecryptovalley Conference! ๐
The caliber of projects showcased was truly exceptional!
#CVC24 #StartupPitchCompetition #opensource #blockchain
We're truly honored to showcase our vision for revolutionizing the open source world through blockchain technology at the Crypto Valley Conference (@thecryptovalley )
What makes this even more special? Our panel of judges includes esteemed professionals: @BlockChainBene , @bastian_wetzel, and Philipp Vonmoos. Having personally known them, I can attest to their expertise and discernment in identifying top-notch talent. ๐
But this is just the beginning! We're eager to connect with other fellow judges, investors, and startups during the event.
Winning would be an incredible achievement, but regardless of the outcome, we're looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, forging new partnerships, and exploring opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Let's decentralize and open source everything! ๐ #CVC24 #StartupPitchCompetition #opensource #blockchain
