Announcing Twilio Fund Companies Presenting at TwilioCon

Twilio Fund is excited to announce the finalists and presenting alumni companies who will demo their products and showcase their startups at TwilioCon this week.

On Thursday, 8 companies will take the stage to present before Paul Singh of 500 Startups, Alastair Goldfisher of Thomson Reuters, and Manu Kumar of K9 Ventures.  The panel and audience will ask questions, provide feedback, and ultimately some companies may receive investment on the spot.  There will also be a first prize and runner up for best pitch, and a people’s choice award.

“TwilioCon is the perfect place to showcase Twilio-powered startups, who are building a new class of next generation communications applications for business.  With Twilio Fund, 500 Startups is getting in early on companies built on the most compelling developer platform since Facebook.” — Dave McClure, Founding Partner and Chief Pirate, 500 Startups
