In this episode of Semaphore Uncut, I chat with Alex Ellis, creator of OpenFaaS, Inlets, and Arkade. He shares his experience of following his open-source passion while also making his work pay.

Key takeaways:

• The sponsored app business model
• The Freemium business model
• Entrepreneurs have to take blows and get up again
• Your own open source path is possible
