- caniszczyk 7y agoFor companies, I've been encouraging companies for the last several years to start formal open source programs to build a proper open source strategy: https://todogroup.org/guides/create-program/ https://todogroup.org/guides/create-program/ From that, comes hiring maintainers and contributing to open source projects, fiscally or hiring maintainers. Second, there are plenty of accelerators like YC itself that can help maintainers start a company around their project.
