The team behind Sanity didn't initially set out to build a content creation tool used by some of the world's biggest brands — they were a small design consultancy. Annoyed that the tool they wanted didn't exist, they built their own "in a fit of rage". Turns out a lot of other companies wanted it too! Today over a million projects have been built on Sanity. In this member profile for the Open Source Pledge blog, Greg Kumparak talks with Sanity co-founder Simen Svale Skogsrud about the company's wild origin story, the paths not taken, and why they contributed over $100k to Open Source projects last year.

Open Source Pledge members have contributed over $2.4M to open source maintainers in the last year; a strong start, but still a long way to go. But what about the actual _distribution_? The status quo will be a bottleneck for any meaningful growth in $$➡OSS, so, on our blog, Chad Whitacre outlines potential solutions.

Exciting news to wrap up the year: Posit PBC is now the largest company (by number of developers) to take the Open Source Pledge. With Posit on board, our member companies have officially surpassed $2 million in funding for the maintainers who keep the internet running. A huge milestone for open source and the people who make it all possible! #paythemaintainers
