COSS Weekly #132

Here's the one-hundred thirty-first issue of COSS Weekly, the global commercial open source (COSS) company category newsletter, brought to you every weekend by the team at OSS Capital, creators and stewards of COSS Community and Open Core Summit.

We deliver only the most fresh 😋 news from the previous week in COSS across: Funding, Content, Jobs, Liquidity and $COSS (Public Markets).

Last week saw $169.6M in funding announcements from Tools for Humanity (Worldcoin), Elementl, WireMock, TinyCorp, Pionix, and Ballerine, the announcement of Open Core Summit 2023 (December 6th-7th in SF, early bird tickets now available!), the 20th anniversary of WordPress, and important conversations on the direction of AI.
