1VD

1VD, operating under the brand xs:code, is a Tel Aviv, Israel-based monetization platform that connects enterprise software companies with open-source developers to deliver commercial business solutions. The company functions through a marketplace business model, enabling corporate research and development departments to securely pay for commercial licenses, dedicated technical support, and custom feature requests directly from the original creators of the open-source projects they utilize. To generate revenue, the platform collects a commission fee on both the recurring subscriptions and the one-off payments processed between enterprise clients and independent software developers. After officially launching its primary monetization platform in late 2019, the early-stage startup expanded its product offerings in 2020 by introducing a specialized web browser extension. This extension was specifically developed to help software engineers easily identify monetized code repositories while browsing directly on GitHub. 1VD was founded in 2019 by Netanel Mohoni and Chen Ravid.
