We Knew Them When They were just upstarts when we first featured them in the pages of Entrepreneur, but now they've become big names. Revisit entrepreneurs from the past 30 years who have since become seriously successful.

Ben and Mena Trott, both 29
Six Apart

THEN: It's been only two years since pioneering blog business Six Apart first appeared in Entrepreneur. The Trotts had just bought out popular blog provider LiveJournal and were earning kudos for their in-house Movable Type product.

NOW: Since their days as a two-person startup, Mena and Ben have turned San Francisco-based Six Apart into an international company. "Ultimately, it's passion that has kept us in the business of blogging and has helped us grow the company," says Mena. Since mid-2005, the Trotts have doubled their employee base and launched Movable Type Enterprise and Vox, a next-generation blogging service. Says Mena, "We firmly believe that everyone on the internet will eventually be blogging. Our goal is to build the best and easiest-to-use products to make that happen." --A.C.K.
