The Metamaps.cc project has been bootstrapped through our own pockets, passion, and patrons - including a couple of small grants which have gone to supporting our core contributors. Some of us have used Metamaps.cc as a tool for our own freelance consulting practice, and we are starting to create hosted and customized installations of Metamaps for different clients as one business model.
-
-
We will continue to bootstrap this project and experiment with alternative business models that are aligned with our values and mission and do not involve exploitation of our users, exclusivity or privatization of the technology.

Financial contributions in the form of patronage/donations/gifts are greatly appreciated in support of our work. You can donate Bitcoin directly or give us a weekly gift of gratitude for the work we do on Gratipay using the links below.
