This guy's company powers 43% of the entire internet. It has 2000 employees...but no office or set work hours. He built a $7.5 billion business with 100% remote working. Here's 3 radical ideas on the future of work from tech's biggest rebel : In 2002, Matt Mullenweg dropped out of college to build WordPress, an open-source blogging platform. By 2005, WordPress had 50,000 users. Today, it powers 43% of the internet. Mullenweg then founded Automattic, a $7.5 billion company with 2,000+ employees in 96 countries—working fully remotely. His approach? "Distributed work": no offices, no hour tracking, no rigid schedules. Focus on results, not time. He envisions a future where remote work outperforms in-person, with VR meetings and AI assistants. Automattic also breaks traditions—rotating team leads to keep ideas fresh. Mullenweg believes in learning "anytime, anywhere," challenging outdated education. If you find this helpful then follow me Mr Z for more valuable content!
