I'm just right now in a slightly similar position. We have more than 20 companies ready to sign big contracts, but it is impossible to raise any money for company structure.
Several customers and employees have expressed their confidence in me personally.
But with this company's attitude, it is impossible to go any further.
After more than a month of struggles on what needed to be the next step, I decided to move on from the project: too many risks for the company composition.
So think twice about it. I know it is a tough situation.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with work, requests, or complaints and in need of assistance to alleviate the pressure, enhance communication, facilitate organization, prioritize tasks, and foster greater trust and transparency?
Alternatively, I can work as a full stack developer.
It depends on what you need to track. For my startup the thing is that open-source developers are sensitive about data and do now want to share them with you.

This is why the project handle all data locally only.
Adding an opt-in for telemetry is largely used in App that handle high sensitive data, like VScode and Insomnia API are handling them. The only data to be collected is when the App is active and when the app is inactive.
But I understand tour point of view

This could be a great addiction to the Issues mechanism of GitHub. We've already added a preformat way to open an issue with Leapp directly from the app. But I don't know if this is enough
As said by them: "Visual Studio Code collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features"
Well I wouldn't touch VSCode with a shitty stick, and this sort of unpleasantness makes me glad of that decision. Not even the nosey bunch that make Go could persuade people of "opt-out" telemetry, truly horrible.
But it rather sounds that you have made up your mind already, no?
