Business outlook
Pros
Transparency, little politics, no BS, getting to work on open source, ambitious company trying to decentralise communication away from the big players, and build a new communications industry.
Cons
Commercial open source development is hard at the best of times, and Matrix being an open ecosystem makes it even harder: Element donates lots of time to grow Matrix, and deliberately helps its competitors by doing so. This makes revenue much harder than it might be otherwise.
