Creation of a Non-Profit Cybersecurity Company and NLNet Foundation

This story is about the language institute Regina Chaley and how it inspired a cybersecurity company and a non-profit foundation. The NLNet Foundation provides subsidies to open source and digital rights projects, aiming for a better transparent internet. Over the past 25 years, they have received almost three quarters of a million euros in donations. The founder of the company wanted to create a non-profit cybersecurity company because he believed the industry was too commercial and lacked openness. He encountered vendors who were reluctant to share their knowledge, so he had to physically stand next to them to learn.
