About The Fund

Twilio Fund is a corporate venture capital initiative with a $50 million corpus aimed at fostering growth within the ecosystem of developers and startups that utilize Twilio's cloud communications platform. The fund is dedicated to supporting companies that create innovative and interactive mobile and web applications by leveraging Twilio's APIs which provide a range of communication services including messaging, voice, and video. By partnering with reputed venture capital firms such as Bessemer Venture Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ), and Redpoint Ventures, Twilio Fund seeks to not just provide financial backing but also strategic guidance to entrepreneurs who are building the next generation of communication tools and applications. Their investment thesis revolves around identifying and investing in early-stage companies that have the potential to disrupt traditional communication paradigms by integrating Twilio's cutting-edge technology. Through these investments, they aim to drive innovation within the IT and TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecom) sectors, supporting a broad spectrum of applications that range from customer service solutions to marketplaces and social platforms that require robust, scalable communication backbones. The synergy between Twilio's technology and the portfolio companies is central to the fund's strategy, ensuring that both the invested companies and the Twilio platform itself can grow and evolve through mutual cooperation and shared advancements in technology.
