Join us on July 24, 2024 at our San Francisco pop-up office!

​Race Capital is proud to present How to Build and Scale an Open Source Company and learn from founder and early investors in BEA Systems, Agora.io, @Databricks, etc.

​Despite the premise of open-source software distribution being “free,” companies like #Databricks, Agora.io, BEA Systems, #RedHat, #MongoDB, #GitLab, and #Elastic have already become unicorns multiple times over with open source at their core.

​How do you build a vibrant and trusted developer community while finding your way to commercialize into a successful company?

​In this talk, you will meet and learn how Alfred Chuang turned #JSEE into BEA Systems, and how Bin "Tony" Zhao transformed #WebRTC into Agora.io. Additionally, you'll hear their thoughts on how #GenAI and #LLM will change the #opensource and #enterprise world.
