Julie Rymer, Biru
Having started in development in 2016, I have mostly worked in Python/Django and Angular. After a couple of years as a CTO, I have started my own cooperative company, which edits the open-source project management application Tenzu.
Working with a small team, I still spend most of my days doing hands-on web development work, which I have to balance with finance and the day-to-day administration of the company.
Session
We will tell you about the trials and tribulations of our company (BIRU, makers of Tenzu) a year after we decided to take on the open-source editor challenge as a cooperative company.
What funding sources were available to us? How much effort was it? What difficulties did we face by being neither a startup with shares to sell nor a cooperative company with a fairly standard business plan?
And what is our business model anyway and how is it working out for us?
We will make this presentation using our with our latest figures and results.
