So in order to grow the team, I’m thrilled to announce AltStore has received an investment of $6 million USD from @cpaikChris Paik! Chris was an early investor in Patreon & Twitch, and we’ve been close ever since he sideloaded the manga reader Paperback with AltStore years ago

Additionally, Flipboard CEO @mikeMike McCue will also be joining our Board of Directors! Mike’s experience with Flipboard & @surf will be invaluable as we expand to the Fediverse, and I couldn’t be happier to have both him + Chris on board

While this solves our problems, we are far from the only Fediverse project that could use some funding and we want to support the growth of the entire ecosystem.

So to give back to the open social web, we’re also donating $500,000 total to these incredible Fediverse-related projects 🎉
