Free Growth Access for
Open Source Companies

You built a product people love for free. Now see which paying customers
actually drive your profit — and which ones cost you money.
Growth tier, 180 days, $0.

Why This Program Exists

You ARE the Profit Curve

Open source businesses have the exact problem we solve: free users subsidize paying customers. Your P&L hides which customers actually drive profit — and which ones cost you money.

See What Others Can't

AI-powered profitability insights that go beyond revenue metrics. Discover your Profit Drag, identify customers to reprice, and get presentation-ready reports in minutes — not weeks.

Built for Builders

Self-serve, no meetings required. Upload a CSV, get your profit curve. Technical founders ship fast — so does Margin Levers.

What You Get

Full Growth tier access — everything you need to find and fix your Profit Drag.

50 saved analyses
A–F customer profitability segmentation
AI-powered executive summaries & action plans
Named action lists: reprice, restructure, or release
Professional PDF report generation

CSV & JSON export for all segments
Priority support

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an open source company?

You maintain an open source project with a commercial offering — freemium SaaS, open-core with enterprise tier, or dual-license. Side projects and hobby repos don't qualify. We're looking for companies with real revenue and real customers.

How many spots are available?

Limited spots — we're pre-launch. Each OSS company gets hands-on onboarding and direct access to the founder. Quality over quantity — we want to deeply understand how open source businesses use Margin Levers.

What happens after 180 days?

After 180 days, continue at $249/mo — the same rate as all Growth subscribers, with extended limits (5,000 customers per analysis, 100 saved analyses). No surprise charges — we'll reach out well before your 180 days ends.

How are applications reviewed?

The founder personally reviews every application. We verify your GitHub activity, check your commercial offering, and prioritize companies where profitability analysis would have the highest impact.
