| Not necessarily. We don't know what all their costs are, but it's a lot more than just salaries. I'm sure there was a lot of uncertainty in how long those sponsorships would last. There are any number of factors. Adam also stated in a podcast [0] that he laid people of now in order to ensure they he could give them generous severance packages. I'm sure people will have thoughts on that but whatever, I think that makes sense. [0] https://adams-morning-walk.transistor.fm/episodes/we-had-six... |

| What costs could tailwind the OSS project have besides payroll and SaaS subs of max 20% the payroll? |

| ▲ | sodapopcan a day ago | parent [-] | | Hosting, marketing, other promotional stuff (conferences, maybe other?), there are still three people on the payroll and otherwise I don't know (which was part of my point) as I've never run a business like this before myself. Oh, subscriptions to AI services... that's pricey I hear ;) | | |
| ▲ | perks_12 a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Hosting for their documentation would only be a noteworthy amount if they chose to host on Vercel. Other than that it's a Hetzner box at $100 per month tops. | | | |
| ▲ | manmal a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | 20% of payroll would cover all that, disregarding marketing which a project like tailwind doesn’t need IMO. | |
| ▲ | TiredOfLife a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | What marketing? Their only marketing is a link in their documentation. |
