Innovating around Open Source business models: Open Nitrate Model
2025-06-17 , Main stage

The commercial Open Source ecosystem looks stuck between traditional open-core business models, services models and new and awkward business-source licensing which don't even contain traces of open source.
Penpot, the Open Source Design & Prototyping tool, is spearheading a new business model called the Open Nitrate Model and we will explain why we believe it greatly simplifies both product building and business development for an Open Source product at a time where we need to start transitioning into a new social contract around Open Source licensing.

Pablo is a science geek, an archer, a cook, a gamer, a history nerd and a successful open source entrepreneur (Penpot). He loves open source, design & code collaboration and lean practices. He makes sure to always operate under a no-fear mindset.
