For all of the open-source hype, it’s not obvious how to go from 'project-market fit' to 'product-market fit'💰

In 2011, GitLab was created as an open source tool, and soon after an impressive community formed around it. Last month, I shared at SaaStr Scale my learnings as we’ve built the GitLab company and continue to co-create the product with the wider community. https://t.co/lVx0JF7X2X

Open source alternatives rapidly evolve from simply commoditizing to sharply out-innovating, faster than most realize.

Greatly saddened today to learn about the passing of my friend Naren Gupta, co-founder of @NexusVP and former Chairman of @RedHat.

Naren was a very kind, wise, intelligent and humble man. He helped so many founders build great COSS startups, even my own.

RIP Naren. 🙏🏼

Happy Hollidays from @OSSCapital to all! ✨ ����

COSS is _equally_ critical & applicable in the worlds of Web2 and Web3:

Open Core startups can monetize FOSS-powered services/products.

Tokens can monetize FOSS-powered consensus/protocols.
