About OSS Capital

OSS Capital is a venture capital firm that backs startups building commercial open source software. It has done so on a global basis since 2018. It says it is the only early-stage fund focused wholly on this area.

What OSS Capital offers

  • Early-stage funding: investment in commercial open source companies, with seed rounds announced for Extropic and Liquid AI.
  • Founder network: a partner group of more than 50 experienced open source founders, including people behind GitLab, Elastic and Red Hat, who share what they learned.
  • Capital-efficiency push: the firm wants to show that open source companies can reach large scale with much less venture funding than past leaders needed.
  • Community goals: it aims to raise understanding of open source and encourage a billion people to take part by 2035.
