Omacom Foundation launches with $13 million

Source: https://omarchy.org/news/2026/08/omacom-foundation-launches-with-8-million/ It’s time to dream big. Omarchy Quattro has given people a chance to experience what the malleable computer of the future looks like, and they like it (a lot!). It now feels like a moral obligation to make this future more broadly available and fundamentally change how people relate to their computers for the first time in what seems like forever.

To do just that, I’m incorporating the Omacom Foundation to ensure that this mission is fully funded, durable, and ready to accelerate.

This nonprofit foundation will hold the trademarks, fund the infrastructure, promote the work, and support the open-source projects and developers Omarchy depends on.

These twelve Founding Patrons are each contributing $1 million to this mission:

• Tobi Lütke, CEO ofShopify
• Patrick Collison, CEO ofStripe
• Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO ofDell Technologies
• Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman ofBlock
• Matthew Prince, CEO ofCloudflare
• Brendan Iribe, Cofounder ofSesameand Oculus
• Jason Fried, CEO of37signals
• Drew Houston, cofounder and co-CEO ofDropbox
• Peter Steinberger, creator ofOpenClaw
• Brian Armstrong, CEO ofCoinbase
• Yunjie Dai, cofounder ofTapTap
• Yours truly

These Distinguished Patrons are each contributing $100,000 to the mission:

• Ryan R. Hughes, partner atOodle
• Ed Huang, cofounder and CTO ofPingCAP
• Adrien Treccani, founder ofMetaco
• Max Schoening, Head of Product atNotion

And these Distinguished Corporate Patrons are each contributing $100,000 a year for three years:

• 1Password
• 37signals

This is a ridiculous sum of money, so I intend to make sure it lasts a long time, and that we make the most of it. But just as important as the incredible cushion is the vote of confidence delivered by these pledges.

We’re going to make the prophecy of The Year of Linux on the Desktop come true. All the pieces are now in place. Time to go all in!

UPDATE: Drew and Peterjoined as Founding Patrons on August 24.

DHH (@dhh): Omacom Foundation treasure account was just opened, but if we keep this rate of increase, we should be able to afford to buy both Microsoft and Apple pretty soon!!
