Celebrates IPO with first-ever coding event from the floor of the NYSE

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- San Francisco-based Twilio Inc., a leading cloud communications platform, began trading today on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “TWLO” after its initial public offering, which raised $150 million in gross proceeds. Citadel Securities is the NYSE Designated Market Maker (DMM) for the company’s shares.

To mark Twilio’s public debut, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO Jeff Lawson, accompanied by members of Twilio’s leadership team, rang The Opening Bell^® and visited the company’s DMM on the NYSE trading floor to observe the opening of TWLO.

In addition to the bell ringing, Twilio celebrated the developers in its community with a first-ever live coding event from the floor of the NYSE. The coding event was broadcast live via Twitch, with three developers building as many applications on the Twilio communications platform possible during a several hour span. A live audience will provide ideas on what the developers built.
