I've never heard of FUTO before and it sounds a little too good to be true. It looks like they have made some grants to other big projects. I like what they're saying to the point that it seems too good to be true.
Does anyone know if this is a legit organization and if it has staying power?
Either way getting further progress on Immich, hopefully moving towards real stability, is very exciting!
Do they say anywhere how they’re funded? Couldn’t really find anything on the FUTO page…
Aside from the other income channels mentioned by others, licenses for Grayjay and FUTO Voice Input.
Louis Rossmann is an employee there so I would expect that organization to have very strong staying power, especially considering the founder of that organization funded Rossmann's R2R lobbying very early on (I no longer believe that is the case though: a dedicated charity was set up for that IIRC, which has recieved very generous donations)
