Automattic was founded by Matt Mullenweg in 2005 to build services around WordPress, the open-source blogging platform he created in 2003. The company operates primarily as a subscription business with three main products: WordPress.com hosting, Jetpack services, and WooCommerce e-commerce platform. Automattic has grown to over 100 million ARR, operates fully remotely across 62 countries with 650 employees, and has strategically remained private to maintain long-term strategic flexibility.
