Hi there. I'm the lead developer of bitwarden. bitwarden is currently sponsored by the Microsoft BizSpark program which covers many of our operation costs and allows us to offer services for free to our users. We are working to introduce enterprise features for businesses in the future which will allow us to monetize. For now though, everything is free for users.

Can I suggest that you explain this on the website? I visited, could see that you had a cloud sync but couldn't see how you make money and left because it didn't add up.

Of course, that BizSpark money has an expiration date and, in the meantime, you're trying to figure out a business model. I think the concern is that you don't have one today, so who knows if you'll come up with something that pays the bills down the road.

Thank you for your reply. That does help out some.

I hope you appreciate the joy of customers demanding to give you money, and what it means to your business. :)

So I decided to email them about how they are funded and this was the response :

Let me know if you have any other questions.

It's like some kind of broken record...
