The future is open core.
All software should be open. Our vision is that the majority of venture-funded software companies are open core OCV companies.
We believe in the power of co-creation and creating tangible value for open source communities. Open core is a business model that builds source-available commercial software around an open source core. Starting an open core company is a sustainable way to support open source and the people who make it. When more people can start open core companies it creates more open software, and more people can contribute.

“Without funding there just isn’t enough time to build the version you want to build. Trying to live off of savings or bootstrap wasn’t really an option for me. Funding the project with OCV allows me to work full-time on something I believe in.”
