Over the last years, people have moved from innovating in secret labs to innovating in the open, and open-source became the way to define industry standards. Today, I am pleased to have Joseph Jacks on the podcast to explore the open-source world. Joseph is the founder and General Partner of OSS Capital a fund that exclusively focuses on early-stage commercial open source companies.

In the episode, we discussed:

  • Why open source as a focus for investment,
  • Why invest in projects and not teams,
  • Commercial open source companies are more capital efficient,
  • More and more people contributing to open source, extrinsic and intrinsic motivations,
  • The one leader's trait that really matters,
  • And so much more!
