1. PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY

Three critical problems facing open source developers:

• Fail to Monetize: 80% of successful open source projects fail to generate revenue effectively

Supporting pain points:

• Complex infrastructure management
• No built-in billing or multi-tenancy
• High operational overhead
• Expensive DevOps talent required
