Back in 2013 Alex McClafferty was searching for an idea –– a project he could dive headfirst into and turn it into a business.

Then from California, he came across Dan Norris working away in Australia on a newly created service called WP Live Ninja. Alex loved the idea, and saw that Dan had $478/month in revenue and was struggling to acquire customers. So he reached out to Dan to see if he wanted to partner up -- and from this conversation WP Curve was born.

Alex and Dan ran with the idea and In 2013 and by 2015, they’d built a remote team around the world and grown revenue to $1MM annual recurring revenue. Then in December 2016, GoDaddy acquired WP Curve and Alex joined GoDaddy as the Director of Product Management, where he stayed until October of 2018.
