Very good question. How will we make money? What is our monetization strategy? We have nothing to hide here. Our monetization is focused on increasing corporate and organizational use.

  1. We love Nix and what we can do with it.
  2. We also know that it is not easy to learn or adopt Nix.
  3. Even if learning Nix would be easier, adoption of new tech becomes harder the bigger the organisation.
  4. The bigger the organisation, the “weirder” their requirements (from the perspective of an open source project). Not all of those requirements make sense to include in an open source version, but would make a big difference for enterprise adoption.
  5. We want to make it possible for you (the Nix user) to be able to bring Nix-based technology to your organizations and to be an effective ambassador.
  6. Enterprises require a different set of features than anyone else; and they will pay for them.
