Our Open Source Journey

Our open-source adventure began four years ago as a Ninjas Code side project. Initially aimed at fixing local food delivery app shortcomings, our vision expanded. Recognizing limitations in competing with industry giants through marketing alone, we shifted focus to helping others launch their delivery services.

While initially relying on third-party marketplaces, market dynamics necessitated a change in strategy. Leveraging our development expertise, we made the strategic decision to open-source our app repository. This move not only gained significant traction but also fostered a vibrant community of contributors, providing invaluable technical experience to over 100 startups.

Monetization

Sustainability is crucial. While the core Enatega application is open-source, the backend functionality remains proprietary, accessible through a licensed OPEN API. This acknowledges the need for customization to individual use cases, which wouldn't be feasible with a one-size-fits-all open-source model.
