An interesting company had its IPO today. Twilio, a global communications company, is a company that I have had my eye on and have been meaning to do a stat post for a while now. They have some amazing usage numbers which is something that almost always piques my interest.

Here are a few of the most interesting Twilio statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Twilio’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
