Irina Nazarova - Wildest Dreams of Making Profit on Open Source - Rails World 2023

Commercialized open source has effectively supported authors while also maintaining the benefits that open principles have on the industry. By obtaining an adequate share of the value we create, we’ll be able to work on industry-changing projects we’re passionate about for years to come.
Yet, achieving success in this domain is not without its challenges. We must be willing to learn, experiment, and overcome obstacles along the way. In this talk, @evil.martians CEO Irina Nazarova will unveil her insights on navigating this journey, harnessing the power of Rails at every stage.

Hey Ruby and Rails friends, I was so lucky to speak at Rails World.
This feels like a intro to a real guide for authors of open source on starting a business on top of it. I want to come up with more content gradually.
But I need your feedback and questions to guide me in this!

Your talk was amazing!
What do you think about focusing on build versions open source of paid products, like Plausible did with Google Analytics?

Thank you@@PedroAugustodoca !
I believe that open source wins, but you should work on a project that you are passionate about, not some clone that "makes sense", because entrepreneurship is a long journey.
