==============================================

Gitcoin's mission is to Grow & Sustain Open Source. We believe that OSS devs create billions of dollars in value, but don't get to capture that value. We believe that blockchain will fundamentally change the way that Open Source is monetized. Our suite of products connect coders to funders, the blockchain-based tools they need to craete value for one another, so they can monetize their work in Open Source.
