Matt Mullenweg is the creator of WordPress, an open source software used by over 31% websites. Right now, for this class we are using Mullenweg’s invention. He created and programmed WordPress to be a software that promotes posting and speech online. He discovered that there was a problem with the availability of platforms used to collaborate with others. Therefore, he decided to create a platform to communicate and share ideas unlike any other platform that existed at the time.
Mullenweg is currently working on a new project that he is calling Automatic. This connects business’s together to figure out customer needs. Mullenweg states that he enjoys programming and hopes that his work has inspired many to keep on doing great things. He is a great example of an entrepreneur who continues to find other problems and solve them.
I think this is a great example of the heart of the entrepreneur. Even though Mullenweg has created a very successful product that many people have been able to use, including us, he is not satisfied with resting on the success. He exemplifies that the entrepreneur is always learning, always adapting, and always innovating.
This is a good one. I never knew who made this website but now I do. Matt saw a need and filled it with a great platform for creativity.
Good job!! Mullenweg created a very successful platform which has acted as an abundant liquid network that has produced services abundant in our modern lives (this blog for example). Mullenweg’s brilliant mind will surely produce more revolutionary products in the future that bring even more innovation into the world.
