Open Source. Open Architecture. Command, Control and Communication
Direct answer
OpenC3 is a startup tracked by VC Deal Flow Signal through its public GitHub activity. This profile records its commit velocity, contributors, and signal type as a benchmark for investors.
Current Signal, Q3 2026
OpenC3 shows -18% commit velocity change with 50 active contributors (+32% growth). Signal type: Deceleration. 2 new repositories created in the last 30 days. Trend vs. prior quarter: accelerating (was -37% in Q2 2026).
Engineering acceleration is a sustained rise in a startup's public GitHub output - commits, contributors, new repositories, relative to its own baseline. It is a quantitative signal computed from public data, unrelated to accelerator programs.
