To go public (again) — GoDaddy files

GoDaddy states “It’s Go Time” for IPO.

GoDaddyGoDaddy has filed its S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This will be the firm’s second attempt at an initial public offering. It originally filed to go public in 2006, but later shelved its plans.

The firm found another way to exit in 2011 when it found an investor in KKR, Silver Lake, and Technology Crossover Ventures.

Parsons remained the individual single shareholder in the firm following the investment.

The firm brought in ex-Yahoo and Microsoft exec Blake Irving as CEO at the beginning of last year.
