Companies can now invest in open source with GitHub Sponsors!

• We’re launching GitHub Sponsors for companies in beta on December 8 (Tuesday) at Universe.
• Self-service (payment via credit card or PayPal) orgs can sign up right away. During the beta, companies with invoiced accounts are not yet supported but can join a waitlist for updates.
• Companies will be charged a 10% fee after the beta. We’re waiving the fee during the beta to thank early adopters for getting the program jump-started. After the beta, we will charge sponsors a 10% fee on top of the sponsorship amount to cover our operational costs.
• We’ve added more discoverability with an improved Explore page.
