Doubtful. It's 100% funded by its own Liberapay page.[0] It's the second-most donated to recipient but at about $650 a week, that's not even enough to hire a full time dev let alone the business skills needed to pull something like that off

That's more than median dev salary for most European country.

That's about $33.8k a year. Before taxes and with no benefits

The numbers in your source also contradict your statement, but point taken that European dev salaries are much nominally lower than American ones. It's still obviously not enough to pay a dev and business expert

EDIT: wow I just checked and the weekly amount they receive just went up to ~$875!
