Subnostr

A question was asked during the client panel at #Nostrica regarding if client developers would accept other funding such as VC-backed. Each developer answered it beautifully but I take a different approach.

My nostr software will never accept VC funding. It’s not in a state currently to even consider doing so, and in my opinion nostr is freedom and open and free code provides an outlet to those that ultimately need it in times of need.

Nothing against anyone that needs to procure funding as I’ve done that in other software markets. Each use case is different and I code as a hobby, not a full time job as they do so the parameters are different. It’s a tough situation as the panel articulately described.

Totally agree. No judgement on anyone who accepts funding but I've avoided it because I think for certain types of projects it can create the wrong incentives.

I agree 100% with this. Just know that the trajectory can be somewhat linear. Especially as it'll be more difficult to acquire talent (if you dont want to solopreneur) as it'll be based on your own cashflow. This is the approach I've taken with CoinFundIt and have been building it since 2018, but you've probably never heard of it until now. Turning down VC funding will make it 10x as hard for growth, but also more rewarding as you only have yourself to answer to. Wish you all the best on the journey 🤙
