I was recently told about Tidelift [0] who represents that it wants to improve funding for OSS. I was surprised that I hadn’t heard about it before on HN in similar discussions.
I think you probably won't hear much about it since, as far as I can tell, the general sentiment in previous discussions[0][1] about Tidelift here was quite critical, mostly due to their lack of transparency.
