RedwoodJS is an open-source project. We are in a unique position to receive funding from Preston-Werner Ventures, which allows us to develop the codebase as well as cultivate an amazing community.

Although it's not a typical for-profit business model, we are sustainable and will enthusiastically continue building Redwood to v2 and well beyond.

It's a personal investment and a passion project. Unless they're lying, there is no business model.

I wasn’t being edgy and I did read the link. A one-off donation isn’t a business model.
