How Open Source Companies Monetize Through Code Audits

In Episode 59 of The Open Source Business, Lucas and Luna explore how open source companies are turning security audits into revenue streams. They dive into the story of a mid-size infrastructure company that built a $2 million audit practice by offering deep code reviews to enterprise clients. The conversation covers how audits serve as both a trust signal and a lead generation tool, the tension between audit findings and community goodwill, and why this model works especially for companies with complex, security-sensitive codebases. Plus, a look at how audit revenue differs from traditional services or support models.
