Agree 100% on that Nevo David, We need more COSS!!! The question I have is if the market will be able to serve PROFITs for both closed-source companies and COSS targeting exactly the same customers. It's not enough to raise and spend X mil$ on open-source (but it's for sure great for the community and amazing for OSS owners). At some point, somewhere (before exit or IPO), it needs to show at least SOME profits and for now, I am not so sure that many of COSS will be able to do it.... Especially if more companies decide to build another "COSS" alternative for already established COSS projects.... I feel good for some, e.g. guys at Cal.com, Inc. (https://cal.com), but they definitely eat some profits from Calendly (disclosure: I use it myself and even recommend it to all my customers!). And there are already many alternatives... What if tomorrow few more COSS projects in that SAME space become popular? Will profits from "calendar scheduling" be enough to serve all of them!? We will definitely see more COSS alternatives for commercial software with huge investment rounds, but I think in ~1-2 years we will see a LOT of those close doors with huge losses before the market stabilizes and the strongest recapture market shares from others! I already saw a few who raised & and wasted millions of dollars and never got any profits and probably very few sales. Same as I saw already few eCommerce-related COSS "compete" with each other for customers instead of joining forces... #coss #opensource #commercial #startup

So sweet and so simple.

Really solid advice we can all use.
