On December 1, 2007, Dries announced, together with co-founder Jay Batson the launch of a start-up called Acquia. Acquia wants to be to Drupal what Red Hat has been to Linux.
On March 31, 2008, Dries launched Mollom, a service dedicated to stopping website spam: "Mollom's purpose is to dramatically reduce the effort of keeping your site clean and the quality of your content high. Currently, Mollom is a spam-killing one-two punch combination of a state-of-the-art spam filter and CAPTCHA server." Over 4,000 websites are protected by the Mollom service. More than 100,000 messages are being analyzed every day.
