Software needs better funding models. I am excited to announce that we at @meritsystems have raised $10M from @a16zcrypto and Blockchain Capital to build the new economy for Open Source Software. My co-founder @samrags and I have spent our careers working as software engineers in big tech, then in venture. We've been working together for nearly a decade, starting with early projects in our college dorm room. We are builders who prioritize experimenting in production. We have observed first-hand the leverage of Open Source Software, but also the tragic state of its funding. We believe in a new future for Open Source funding. We are building Merit Systems to unleash its full potential. https://merit.systems If this is a mission that you align with, we are hiring: https://merit.systems/careers. We believe that the future belongs to those who build it. Join Us.
