"Unison Computing, a Delaware public benefit corp. Our mission: advance what is possible with software and work to make software creation more delightful and accessible to all. "
Never heard of a public benefit corp before, but in looking it up, seems like a cool thing. Wonder if Unison Cloud falls under that also...
"What is a Delaware public benefit corporation?
A Delaware public benefit corporation (PBC) is a for-profit corporation intended to produce a public benefit and operate in a responsible and sustainable manner. A PBC must be managed in a way that balances the interests of the stockholders, the company’s key stakeholders, and a specific public benefit that the company commits to in its charter."

The short version is that a regular corporation is required to operate in a way that maximizes shareholder profits; whereas a public benefit corp is allowed to take other factors into consideration too.

I like what you're doing. I was heavily involved in building DigitalOcean and thought often about a lot of what you're working on. Good luck, I think you're doing great work. =)
