The team
Sealed until funded
The team unlocks when patronage is funded
This is where the maintainers go — names, faces, the libraries each one owns. It stays sealed until monthly patronage is secured, because we won’t introduce a team we can’t pay past next month.

Names, faces, and the library each maintainer owns appear here the day the goal is met.
Why locked
Open source dies when funding is a sprint
We hire only once $32,768 a month is committed — enough to cover salary-grade maintainers, mentorship, release/security time, and operating buffer every month. No working a month and going dark when the money runs out. A team you can rely on has to be able to rely on its own payroll first.
