Can you explain why it's a bad idea to start your own foundation unless well-funded? What exactly does the LF's FaaS provide?

Event planning resources for conferences, graphic design help, legal staff who specialize in OSS issues, money for infrastructure costs (CI/CD, compute and storage resources), money for day-to-day tools (JIRA, Slack, Zoom, Discourse), documentation and web design resources, and much more. Basically all of the background conditions necessary for collaboration and ecosystem growth to be as unimpeded by resource scarcity as possible.

Well that's pretty awesome. Are there qualifications besides being OSS with the proper licenses?
