Back then, Twitter was generating $0 in sales. By the end of the following year, he brought in $106 million in revenue and nearly tripled that amount in 2012.

It's a huge change and a big blow for the struggling tech company, which has had its market value severely shrink over the last two years. Twitter was interested in a sale last month, with Salesforce, Google and Disney circling, but it failed to close a deal before its deadline of Oct. 27.

Since then, Twitter laid off 9 percent of its workforce, or more than 300 employees, and announced a plan to shut down the standalone six-second-video app Vine. Those cost-cutting measures along with a high-level executive departure could make way for another deal.

Twitter set a goal to reach profitability by 2017. Dorsey said in a statement that Twitter is still working to achieve that goal.
