Several options: FOSS funds, foundations, grants, venture capital.

A few takeaways

  • On GitHub Sponsors, where the speaker works, 60% of the funding comes from individuals
  • Majority of maintainers for critical FOSS projects is paid full-time
  • Grant money from governments usually goes into new projects
  • Venture capital is focussing more on Open Core
  • Problems: Sponsoring from companies is unstable and related to economic conditions, e.g. in 2023
