I believe the role of sponsorship is more than fund raising. It is a great way to connect python companies with the community. In the best interest of python community, we should try to maximize the number of companies that get connected in addition to making sure we raise enough sponsorship to meet e expenses.
+1 for this. One approach is the "Contributor Ticket" model. Something along the lines of https://2016.pycon-au.org/sponsors/contributor
In PyCon India 2017, there was a community-supporter ticket for Rs.5000 and 9 people bought those tickets. Regarding Startup, as highlighted by Satya during our discussions, we have not seen much uptake for 50K tickets in last 3 years. We need the rework on what startups will get from investing their precious funds( most of them will be having funding challenges). Either we should try and reduce the sponsorship cost for them or give them more value for their investment( such as an opportunity to do present their story for 5 min. in main conference hall at the end of day one, just before the last keynote) - sree
