I noticed that WordPress users span an incredibly wide range of actual business activities, but certain patterns emerge. These aren't tech startups building SaaS platforms. Instead, I see traditional businesses with physical operations: retail chains like Wetherspoon's pubs and Lojas Lebes, financial institutions like First Bank of Nigeria, healthcare providers like Hospital São José, industrial manufacturers like PT. Gajah Tunggal making tires, and service providers from security firms to contact centers. Many are in hospitality, retail, education, healthcare, and professional services. They sell tangible products or deliver hands-on services to consumers and businesses.

These are overwhelmingly mature, established enterprises. The employee counts tell the story: I see companies with 2,000 to 15,000+ employees, multiple locations, and decades of operation. Very few show venture funding stages, and when they do, it's often private equity or post-IPO activity, not early-stage venture capital. These aren't startups figuring out product-market fit. They're institutions with complex operations, legacy systems, and established market positions.
