I'm one of the co-founders of CodeFund. Our goal has always been to provide a path for open source maintainers to find funding through non-tracking, ethical ads.


I know that this is an incredibly difficult time for you, but I want to congratulate you on your remarkable achievements.

You've put $670,000 into the pockets of your partners, because of an app that you built. But that's just a multiplier of course, because it supported those same partners contributing to projects that benefit all of us. That impact is massive.

Just as remarkable, you did all of this in a way that respected your core beliefs of preserving the privacy of the people seeing your ads.

There are few companies like yours. Well done.


My dream was to work with the open source community full time, and CodeFund made that happen. Thank you (Eric), Nate, and Andrew for the past nine months. I learned so much and am very proud we were able to help sustain open source maintainers for as long as we could.
