Of course, famously, funding the commons is extremely difficult. Despite how much "easier" short term it would be to take large amounts of VC cash, we are here for the long term vision.
Did we mention we are running a public fundraising campaign? We could use your help! https://spritely.institute/donate/

For this reason, we are a nonprofit (a US 501(c)(3) to be exact).
The Internet's original designs were largely a public works project. Enormously powerful and wonderful things can happen when technology is built in the interest of people and given to the commons.

And indeed, we hope everyone does benefit from our tech.
But of course, the way an organization is organized, and who it reports to, can affect how it can achieve its stated goals.
Having governance and stewardship of the technology of the people as being beholden to its mission is important.
