About us
OSS Capital is the first and only early-stage VC exclusively dedicated to backing leading COSS (commercial open source) startup founders on a global basis since 2018.
Our Key goals
Empowering the Next Generation of COSS Founders
Guidance from 50+ COSS founders—behind companies like GitHub, MongoDB, and HashiCorp—driving $300B+ in value, $100B+ in outcomes, and trillions in open source impact to help you scale your open source through the power of positive sum capitalism.
Radically improve capital
efficiency in COSS
Over the last decade, leading COSS companies raised an average of $300M+ in VC to cross $100M in annual revenue. We believe they can be far more capital-efficient. Our goal is to show that future COSS leaders can achieve the same scale with just 10-30% of that funding, growing into profitable public companies.
Unleash the Next 1 Billion Open Source Creators
By promoting the understanding and adoption of COSS startups across every category, we aim to accelerate the recognition of open source fundamentals in every digital product. Our goal is to inspire over 1 billion people to engage with and create transformative open source technologies by 2035.
