But are they open source friendly/minded.
Investors typically are not fond of open source based business models
as you typically can't achieve the ROI they have in mind with an open
source business model. Problem with open source is that you will get
competition before you can reach the ROI investors typically want on
their investment. Of course (real) open source developers see this as a
feature and call it community rather than competition but that's not
how investors typically think.
