On March 7th, 2025, we kicked off the inaugural session of SaaS Mondays, Live on Fridays, a new biweekly LinkedIn Live series dedicated to fostering discussions among SaaS builders, founders, and industry leaders. Hosted by Michael Cooper (GTM Lead, Omnistrate), the session featured insights from:

• Ermin Dzinic (AWS SaaS Specialist)
• Bill Tarr (AWS SaaS Factory)
• Kamal Gupta (CEO & Co-Founder, Omnistrate)

Our first discussion centered on the pressing question: How will AI impact SaaS builders? Below, we explore the key takeaways from this dynamic conversation.

Many OSS projects are supported by a crew of volunteers trying to solve a simple problem in the world around them. And most OSS projects don’t judge their true success with monetary metrics.

With that said, when an OSS project becomes a breakout success, if the OSS creators don’t bring a scalable commercial offer to market, someone else will.

At Omnistrate, we recognize the importance of balancing the principles of open source with the need for sustainability. We believe that creators should have the freedom to choose how they license their software while still being able to monetize their efforts. That's why we're introducing a new approach to bringing OSS Apps to the cloud.
