interesting, i had just watched Primeagens Standup with Adam and got the impression they don't do well for money, but a quick google came up with a bunch of posts from Adam himself disclosing some fairly impressive numbers.

No idea if he still does ok from it, but he certainly did at one stage.

We are still healthy and profitable but revenue is down about 60% from peak, and continuing to trend down (I think mostly due to AI and open-source alternatives to the things we've historically charged for.)

So things are fine but we do need to reverse the trend which is why we are pretty focused on the commercial side of things right now.

We started a corporate sponsors/partner program recently, and I'm hoping that will earn us enough funding to focus more on the free/open-source stuff, since that's where we create the most value for the world anyways. Fingers crossed!

Adam, the Tailwind corporate sponsorship program is a great example of how to do it. I hope other notable open source projects learn from you.
