We proudly dedicate 5% of our time to the open source WordPress Project.

In 2014, Automattic CEO and WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg committed to dedicating 5% of our company time to WordPress core, and invited other businesses and individuals to join us. Matt’s call to action invited organizations that want to “grow the WordPress pie (and not just their piece of it)” to dedicate 5% of their resources to WordPress core.
