Monetization & Investor Information
Cognotik is committed to remaining a powerful, open-source, privacy-first AI development platform. We believe in sustainable growth, transparency, and community-driven innovation. This page outlines our approach to monetization, sustainability, and opportunities for investors and sponsors.
Our Monetization Philosophy
Open Source First
Cognotik is and will always be free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license. The core platform is available to everyone, with no hidden fees or proprietary lock-in.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) Model
We do not resell AI APIs or charge for usage. Users connect their own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), ensuring privacy and cost control. No markups, no data intermediaries.
Sustainability & Growth
To ensure long-term sustainability and accelerate development, we are exploring the following monetization and funding options:
- Sponsorships & Donations: Community and corporate sponsorships via GitHub Sponsors, OpenCollective, or direct support.
- Enterprise Support: Paid support, consulting, and integration services for enterprises and large teams.
- Premium Plugins: Optional, value-added plugins or integrations (all core features remain free).
- Grants & Partnerships: Collaboration with research institutions, foundations, and industry partners.
