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.

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.

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.
