I'm building a product suite around the data integration process. The first product I released more than a month ago is WRGL Repos: https://www.wrgl.co - it deals with data versioning.
The final suite will not just be entirely commercial but has a number of open source products in it as well.
BTW if anyone is banging their head trying to benchmark JavaScript, don't be. I recently built jest-bench to address this need: https://github.com/pckhoi/jest-bench
I'm the founder and sole engineer of WRGL: https://www.wrgl.co. I have just launched the first version and looking for a part-time job to support myself while keeping developing WRGL. Beside my own product I have 6-years experience working with multiple startups in the past including:
I would describe myself as someone who can balance the avant-garde side of technology as well as product deliverability. I hope you find my profile interesting and contact me if you're interested.

This method would limit benefactors to only those who have access to the internet and a way to receive money online. Most of the third world country population wouldn't fit into this category.
And you can't be solving big systematic problems and bring about societal change by working with individual cases. This is like fighting fire when you should have made the building fireproof in the first place.
As long as the intention is to actually create wealth for the society as a whole as opposed to just making yourself rich, I don't see a problem to what Elon does.
The final suite will not just be entirely commercial but has a number of open source products in it as well.
