It is very fitting when talking about young entrepreneurs to talk about Matthew Mullenweg. In 2004, when Mullenweg was not even twenty years old, he created a site named WordPress, which I am currently using. WordPress has become one of the world’s premier content management sites and is the most used blogging website in the world. Mullenweg, a Houston, Texas native, created the company while he was a freshman at the University of Houston, before he dropped out to continue running his company. Soon after he moved to San Francisco the company took off. They recruited top businesspeople from various companies such as Yahoo! and others to try and bring WordPress to the forefront of internet communication. On top of WordPress, Mullenweg is the CEO of another company called Automattic, a play on words of the founder’s first name. This company is a distributed company so all of the employees get sent to different places to do remote work. Most of these jobs are tech and blogging related, with many jobs specifically set up to try and help their sister company WordPress. Mullenweg can be seen as an inspiration that even though you could be a freshman at some University you can still make a big global impact. Am I saying everyone should drop out of college and make a company? Not exactly, but innovation at a young age is definitely a desirable trait I wish I could utilize in a similar way Mullenweg has.
