Open Source? More Like Open Wreck: A Business Model that’s Destroying the Concept of Value
As companies cave to the pressure of giving away their intellectual property and sacrificing profits for the “greater good”, the already- murky waters of open source are getting murkier. The notion of transparency and collaboration has led to innovation, but not without selling out the idea of actual value creation.
Catch the cat fight as CEOs Casey Aylward from Accel, Scott Johnston from Docker, and Rowan Trollope from Redis descend onto the SaaS Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 as they grapple with the existential crisis that is the open source business model.
What Happens When You Give it All Away? Our panelists will tear apart the myth of free innovation and reveal the blood-soaked underbelly of the open source monster. Expect them to get real about the funding hellholes, the endless power struggles between open source titans, and the unspoken reality that most developers are actually just getting poorer.
Meet the Traitors
- Casey Aylward**: Accel’s resident deal-maker is all about snagging those sweet, sweet open source startups for peanuts. Ask her about the true value of transparency
- Scott Johnston**: As Docker’s CEO, Johnston is secretly counting down the days until he can IPO and get out of this mess
- Rowan Trollope**: Leading Redis like a true benevolent dictator, Trollope has a Ph.D. in Open Source FUD
Secure your spot (and a healthy dose of skepticism) at Disrupt 2024, where the future of open source will be forged in the fires of self-doubt and angst.
