Who Is Wordpress Co-founder Matt Mullenweg?
Matt Mullenweg introduces himself on Rework as the co-founder of WordPress, which he started in 2003, and as CEO of Automattic, the company he founded a few years later. Talking with David Heinemeier Hansson, he says he had been CEO for about five years. The conversation followed a funding announcement: Salesforce, the enterprise CRM company, had just bought 10 percent of Automattic for $300 million. Mullenweg says he and Hansson had been arguing on Twitter and that Twitter was the wrong place for it, so they moved the discussion to this unedited Rework call.
