crowd.dev (acquired by Linux Foundation)

Big announcement: crowd.dev has been acquired by The Linux Foundation ?? For the last 3 years, we have been building the data platform to enable developer-centric companies to connect community, product, and customer data in one place. Over 1,500 organizations used our product to get more context about developers, drive adoption, or simply improve DX. Through that, we gained a deep understanding of how developer ecosystems work. Naturally, open source was a big part of this. On top of that, we built our product in the open ourselves, gaining 3k+ GitHub stars over the last few months. The Linux Foundation hosts and enables over 900 of the world’s most critical software projects (including the Linux Kernel, Node.js, PyTorch, etc.) that power a significant share of the technology each and every one of us uses every day. Our shared story began in January 2023 when Jim Zemlin from the Linux Foundation reached out and asked to take a look at our product. Because our product was open source and a tool to help the Linux Foundation serve its communities more effectively, we were naturally aligned. Over months, it became clear that our teams share the same vision: providing the infrastructure for building a healthy, vibrant, and secure open source ecosystem. Therefore, it was a logical next step to join forces and keep pursuing this vision together. I would like to thank everyone who believed in us and made this journey possible: The whole Linux Foundation team as well as our team, customers, community, investors, advisors, friends, families, and everyone else who contributed to crowd.dev. Thank you. ??
