GitHub·medium signal

Twenty, the Y Combinator-backed (S23) open-source CRM, has crossed 44,000 GitHub stars with 11,590 commits, 6,000 forks, and 300+ contributors. Founded by a French team and backed by Runa Capital ($5M seed, 50+ investors including HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Automattic executives), Twenty is now positioned as 'the open alternative to Salesforce, designed for AI.' Its architecture provides objects, views, workflows, and agents as extensible building blocks — a fundamentally different model than Salesforce's monolithic approach.
