Why wait? Why ask people to trust that the free work they do for you will eventually be open source in the future?

Truthfully, there isn't any way to prove that we are going to OSS, but we don't want to throw out a half assed product.

I agree, this isn't an ideal scenario, but we want to release our product when we have a working version.

We love open source, and have been working on open source for years now. https://github.com/nathannaveen.

Additionally, we have already open sourced a security tool that we were building before hand https://github.com/bomfather/minefield.

Well, it seems you can either throw out a half-assed product, or wait a while and throw away your half-assed product?

The odds that you're going to get free work based on a promise of future open source seems low.
