FOSS scaling challenges:
Renaud Chaput (npub1zu5…pytj): Scaling technology is easy. Scaling the other parts, like trust and safety, is hard. NGI funds the tech. Need to have funding for scaling other parts.
Ali Gonzalez: We are looking for public investment, not VC.
Ludovic Dubost (npub1vwe…86u4): Goal is to grow product revenue alongside grant funding. One funds dev, one funds non-dev needs.
Probabilita (npub1vua…7mst): Need to ask where do we want to grow? When growth directions arent aligned with standard growth paths, funding can be hard.
