About the Role / About the Job
This opportunity provides software developers, tech founders, engineering teams, and code owners the chance to monetize existing software repositories through licensing agreements. We welcome submissions from individuals and organizations that possess various types of software projects, including abandoned startups, personal projects, internal tools, and previously active SaaS products. Our licensing program seeks to assess the potential value of these codebases without requiring a commitment to traditional development engagements.
