Scarf helps open-source developers understand how their projects are being used, and connects those maintainers with their commercial users to help them get fairly paid for their valuable work. We help businesses more effectively leverage their open-source dependencies by connecting them directly to the maintainers of software they rely on.
When open-source maintainers are well-informed, connected to their users, and properly compensated, the result is better software for everyone.
