and welcome to Sustain! On this episode, Richard is at the FOSS
Backstage 2023 that is held in Berlin every year. Today, Richard
speaks with Pablo Ruiz-Múzquiz, CEO of Kaleidos, and creator of

open-source products can be successful. They discuss how Kaleidos
started as a consultancy company, but eventually became a full
open-source products company. They also talk about the benefits and
risks of focusing entirely on open-source products, as well as the
