Your answer should be voted to the top! :)

OSS contributors are rarely noticed or appreciated. Did HashiCorp ever sponsor you or share any revenue with you? The OSS ecosystem is broken.

I had a few folks offer to sponsor at individual levels but no corporate sponsorship except Shopify paying my salary in the early days.

That being said, I gave away the software for free so I don’t have any expectation of payment. I agree the ecosystem is broken but I don’t know how to fix it or even if it can be fixed.
