The open-source model has been a big catalyst for technology businesses across the world. While it is clear how they fit into other business models, it is still unclear what the business model behind an open-source business is. In this episode, we aim to answer that and more. We invited Neil Han, Head of APAC and EMEA for PingCAP, the first open-source unicorn in China, which raised 340million USD in total. Neil is a hardcore software person and a well-connected professional in the software industry across the globe with great operations and management skillset, looking forward to working with a fast-growing company and great leadership team to grow together. Show Notes:[1:26] Introduction to Neil Han[2:39] PingCap’s value proposition[5:14] Companies that best leverage PingCap’s services[8:05] The business model behind an open source business[12:08] Where the community contributors come from[15:05] Where the customers come from[17:29] Experience of selling the service to Chinese customers[2200] Customers as contributors to the product: A case of Square[26:38] The scope of growth for open-source software in APAC[30:16] Connect with Neil Many thanks to our guests  Neil Han; host Oscar Ramos; producers Eva Shi and  Sagar Chaudhary; editor David; organizer Chinaccelerator; and sponsor People Squared.
