Our goal is to democratize publishing, commerce, and messaging so that anyone with a story can tell it, anyone with a product can sell it, and everyone can manage their communications from a single source. In a fast-paced, complex market, we own a diverse set of assets, deploy numerous business models, and offer scalability from B2C to SMB and Enterprise customers. Our brands include website building and cloud hosting (WordPress.com), ecommerce and fintech (WooCommerce), Enterprise SaaS (WordPress VIP), and infrastructure hosting, spanning customer segments that include SMB, online merchants, enterprise, government, and even consumer.
