I think many of the founder & vc bets are on being acquired by a big company.

There's also lots of room for cloud versions and consulting or customization services to add value on top of open source, though it's not always clear that the company running the open source project is in the best position to do that.

Personally, I worry about companies that get funding to try and non-specifically monetize open source, because I think it can be a negative influence on decisions made for the project.
