Our open-source project got funded!

Dima Grossman on May 11, 2022

Hi Community, We have exciting news to share! @combarnea and I open-sourced the Novu project (check our GitHub Page) because we both felt the pain...

Congratulations on your success ! May I ask how long did you worked on project before it was funded ? And for all others who want to fund their projects, what are the possibilities ?

In overall almost more than 2 years since the inception of the internal project :) I think the market of OSS projects is growing pretty fast right now, you can see a lot of great example suchs as appwrite, supabase, flagsmith, amplication and many many great others. We are doing a live stream on this subject around next week, and I might write a detailed blog post on this aswell in the near time. I will let you know once it's out there, and feel free to reach out on Discord or DM, would love to jump on a call if I could help in anyway.

Thank you. I'll keep this in backlog and check if blog post comes out. I worked on lot of projects but I never thought about ways of funding my project. I simply don't know about financing .

I love it, I am really interested in what is your work framework, I mean, do you do kanban for example? How do you detect the rythm and flow and how do you improve it?

We are currently building and Open Source project too and I feel like we could improve our flow... Idk. Thanks for sharing with the community <3

Hi :)

We are working with a Linear.app synced to GitHub issues using a zapier integration, we really love the linear method of building (check it out here: linear.app/method)

Oh yes, I know them, I love the app, the method and also raycast.
I don't know why but I already suspected it! That's amazing.

This looks amazing - hope it will be easy to use in CI/CD pipelines as well.

@scopsy for the direct messaging a Matrix integration would be awesome.

What kind of purpose do investors have for investing in open source? If you don't mind me asking, I'd like to know what your investors told you!

There are quite a lot of investor backed oss companies: MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Sentry, appwrite, supabase and many others. You can monetize OSS software by providing a hosted version of it (this is the approach we are taking). Other ways would be to provide paid support, open-core model, and etc... Hope this helps :)
