COSS Weekly #69

Here's the sixty-ninth issue of COSS Weekly, the global commercial open source (COSS) company category newsletter, brought to you every Sunday afternoon (Pacific Time) 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).

This last week saw $30.3M in funding announcements from Faros, Orkes, and Calyptia, news from Merico, Hoppscotch, and Socket, and conversations on OSS <> web3.

Enjoy!

  • Joseph Jacks (JJ) 🇺🇦✊🏼❤️: "Web3 fundamentally cannot exist without open source. However, open source does not need Web3 to continue thriving. https://t.co/16ia0lhUpy" Link
  • Joseph Jacks (JJ) 🇺🇦✊🏼❤️: "Prediction: Societal belief (marketing) in trusting a given technology (affecting mass adoption) will eventually be decoupled from societal capability (engineering) in trusting a given technology. Today, these two dynamics are tightly coupled." Link
  • Joseph Jacks (JJ) 🇺🇦✊🏼❤️: ""Blockchains without Tokens" (ie. https://t.co/nErqYB2YCr) = promising tech in a wide range of areas. ✅ But what about "Tokens sans Blockchains"? Perhaps an interesting app of this decoupling could be in the domain of reimagining software licensing. Who's working on this? 🤔" Link
  • The OSS Startup⚡️: "🥳The OSS Startup Podcast crossed 5K listeners🥳 Our niche podcast on how to successfully build open-source companies has become a major passion project for us. && we so appreciate all of the community support 💛 - @amanda_robs @tnachen 👩‍💻👨‍💻" Link
