It does say they have a business model ("our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures"). I imagine it's some kind of patron model that requires a long-term commitment.
His latest project (https://pioneer.app/) recently (this year I think) got shutdown. I guess he's pivoting.
What do you mean "got shutdown"? What happened?
