Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Longreads, Simplenote and soon Tumblr, is now worth $3 billion.

But its founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg has a bigger goal.

He wants to make the web better, more open and diverse.With the rise of social networks and closed platforms, Automattic’s mission statement has never sounded so important.

Automattic doesn’t want to be the hot new startup.

It wants to build a strong foundation to empower content creators for decades to come.In an interview this week, Matt Mullenweg discussed why he raised $300 million from Salesforce Ventures, what he thinks of the current state of the web and how Automattic has a shot at building the open-source operating system of the web.
