No, but you should at least provide a perspective why you will succeed (where many others have tried and failed).

The only thing I see different in their approach is trying to "empower maintainers to become entrepreneurs", in a market in which there is no actual demand (= willingness for companies to pay cash). And they try to do that with a offering that I think maintainers couldn't care less about:

- GH Issues shows all the info you need to get an overview over your backlogs funding = there ain't any amounts of relevance

- maintainers are usually quite aware of all the external dependent issues of the project, and if you really want to get an overview, a tracking issue is easy enough to create
