A new report showcases the 20 top-trending open source startups around the world.

The report is the handiwork of European venture capital firm Runa Capital , which has operated the Runa Open Source Startup ( ROSS ) Index since 2020 .

The Index serves quarterly updates on the fastest-growing projects in terms of GitHub stars.

Runa says it adheres to the “commercial perception” of open source, rather than the official open source definition.

Many of the projects on the list have indeed been released under a recognized copyleft or permissive open source license, but this isn’t a strict stipulation of the ROSS Index.

Still, the Index is a useful indicator of what kinds of technology is trending.
