"$35/Mo for 500 MAU, up from $23/mo for 1,000"
Does selecting the "Germany (remote)" filter here address your use case? https://www.trueup.io/jobs
A few key insights:

1) There are 11,000+ open jobs in Open Source across top startups, unicorns, and big tech co's.

2) Developer Relations, Tech Writer, and Community roles are all 3X more in-demand at Open Source co’s vs. the rest of tech.

3) More than half (50.4%) of Open Source roles are Remote. That makes Open Source roles more than 3X more likely to be Remote than other tech jobs (current average across tech is 16.1%).

4) There are 3 companies with 10+ Open Source projects on GitHub each with 10K+ stars: Google (27), Facebook (16), Alibaba (13).

I find the equity split between Drew (25.3%) and Arash (10.3%) especially interesting given @paulg's 2014 tweet that "Zero of the most successful YC companies have a significantly disproportionate equity split" https://twitter.com/paulg/status/535588566978404352

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but the practice that you describe wouldn't result in an imbalance in the ratio of men to women.
This is an exciting product with a great team (especially founder Shireen Yates). I hope they launch soon-- my girlfriend is gluten free and this would be a great kwanza/hanukah/christmas present.

This Monkeybrains outfit also tried to crowdfund $325 million for a satellite last year (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/monkeybrains-satellite). They fell $324.989484 million short, though maybe that's just because crowdfunding wasn't as mainstream a year ago. That said, SF residents probably wouldn't tolerate a satellite in their air-space... i mean space-space?
