Today we're coming out of stealth and announcing a $10M fundraise to accelerate Open Source Capitalism. Open Source is civilization's greatest accomplishment. Where corporations fail to innovate as they scale, Open Source leads the frontier. All of the best technologies, from databases and web frameworks to cryptography and game engines, are created in the open. Software with zero-cost replication allowed massive teams to collaborate on the same technical artifacts. Open Source permeated the barriers between corps and allowed humanity's greatest minds to work on shared technical foundations. But funding Open Source has been a perennial challenge. Tragedy of the commons this, tragedy of the commons that. While we applaud the push to increase altruism directed at Open Source, banking on goodwill isn't our idea of a prosperous future.

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.
