How does a company like this make money? Like, is it basically a consulting firm that plans to do development on core Linux features? Custom dev work that they are also able to open source? They already have quite a few employees on the about page.

Seed funding, then releasing a good foss tool, then extending it with extra "pay only" features, then selling to ossified old tech like IBM to cash out.

See Redhat/hashicorp/etc.
