GoDaddy founder, Bob Parsons, is well-known for his entrepreneurial acumen, often delivering advice in a direct, factual manner.
The former Marine and decorated Vietnam veteran, recently made a comment on Twitter, about the financial hardships the latter faces:
2011/Twitter refused deal easily worth millions every yr. Told me “we don’t care about revenue.” Bet they care now!
According to Wikipedia, in July 2011, Parsons sold approximately 70% of GoDaddy to a private equity consortium led by KKR & Co. L.P. and Silver Lake, and resigned his position as CEO.
Assuming that the Twitter incident happened prior to his resignation as a CEO, he most likely had the final say in the failed “joint venture” deal referred to in his message.
It’s important to remember that sometimes business opportunities arrive with a narrow window of implementation! 😀
