Our take
Open source software is everywhere – a huge percentage of enterprise software projects contain open-source dependencies. This presents significant security issues if it’s not managed and maintained and, seeing as the projects were created for free, there is little incentive for busy developers to constantly upgrade and maintain these designs.
Tidelift aims to support developers and companies by monetizing open-source software while helping to secure and improve it. Its subscription is a single source for proactively managed open source components and professional assurances, giving application development teams the tools they need to create, track, and manage those components. With Tidelift, organizations can be confident that they are using open-source safely without slowing down development.
With a leadership team comprised of Red Hat, Wikipedia, Mozilla, GitHub, and Google veterans, Tidelift has a wealth of knowledge and experience to work from. Significant investment has been made in the company, that will go towards bringing its product to more customers across a wider range of industries.
