Mullenweg, 25, is the founder of Automattic, the company behind the open-source blogging tool WordPress and a handful of other software projects. WordPress.com powers 12 million blogs, including those of The New York Times, which invested in Mullenweg’s company last year. Although Automattic’s headquarters is within walking distance of Mullenweg’s San Francisco apartment, he rarely visits the place.
