Six Apart - Definition and Overview

Six Apart Ltd., sometimes abbreviated 6A, is a software company located in San Francisco, California. It is the creator of the widely used Movable Type software, and offers the TypePad Weblog service. The name is a reference to the six day age difference between its married co-founders, Ben and Mena Trott.

Six Apart received initial venture capital funding from a group led by Joi Ito and his Neoteny Co., as well as a second round from August Capital, which allowed it to make acquisitions of other companies. In January 2005, Six Apart purchased Danga Interactive, parent company of LiveJournal, from owner Brad Fitzpatrick, who was named Six Apart's chief architect.
