Olliance’s unique and central position in the open source ecosystem allows us to capture, analyze, and disseminate information from many disparate sources and provide unbiased and timely open source strategies to our clients. Olliance advises firms that are considering whether or not to invest in open source companies or are considering open source for their existing portfolio companies.

What Our Venture Clients Say

	"Olliance Group has worked with a number of our porfolio companies to help them understand whether or not open source is an opportunity or competitive threat. They have a deep understanding of open source business models and their implications to existing proprietary software firms. Olliance's independent perspective and ability to rapidly assess and develop open source strategies has proven very valuable to our portfolio companies. We recommend them highly to other venture firms and their portfolios."
	Mary Coleman, Managing Partner Walden International
	"As part of our due diligence on an open source investment, I picked Olliance because of their depth of understanding of their open source business models. I have been very impressed by their ability to react quickly and come up with very deep insights on what were the issues that the company was facing moving forward. I recommend them for evaluation of pure open source business model and migration of existing businesses to an open source business paradigm"
	Philippe Cases, Partner Partech International

• Will the target company be able to build a robust open source community?
  
• Can our portfolio company defend its proprietary software revenues and margins from looming open source competition?
