GitHub finally raises funding (GigaOm)GitHub finally raises funding (GigaOm)Posted Jul 9, 2012 23:16 UTC (Mon) by geofft (subscriber, #59789)In reply to: GitHub finally raises funding (GigaOm) by karim Parent article: GitHub finally raises funding (GigaOm)
Well, GitHub has a product they can sell to enterprises -- there's no reason they can't be as profitable as Perforce, ClearCase, etc. have been (or for a slightly more current example, Atlassian). SourceForge doesn't have anything to offer a company.
GitHub also has a lot of the people doing development of git itself (another notable difference from SourceForge), so the team's ability to come up with a different product that is highly profitable is much more clearly there, even if github.com never becomes profitable.

"Nothing to offer enterprises" besides, you know, SourceForge Enterprise Edition ;)

I am a GitHub customer. The convenience of having a little private repository on the web where I can stash some code I'm too embarrassed to make public is a Good Thing.
