Co-founder & CEO

Open Social

The Open Source Founder Summit is vital because it addresses the unique challenges that only an open-source founder faces. Unlike normaal SaaS companies, those of us in the open-source realm grapple with the intricacies of maintaining code that must be both accessible and innovative, engaging with a diverse and vocal community, and crafting business models that respect our commitment to openness while ensuring sustainability. This summit provides a rare space for open-source founders to connect, share solutions and strengthen our collective resolve to thrive within these complex dynamics.

Taco is the co-Founder & CEO of Open Social and active in the open-source space (mainly Drupal) since 2008. Before that Taco created a digital agency GoalGorilla that turned into the open-SaaS company Open Social in 2019. Funded through a crowdfunding and seed round, the startup has been profitable since 2023.
