Partnership with Threshold
Josh Stein on investing in Twilio: "We wrote our first check in 2013, when Jeff was kind enough to invite us to participate in the company’s Series D financing. Since that time, we’ve been honored to have a front row seat to watch Jeff build an exceptional company. Exceptional, not just in terms of their financial metrics and their technology platform, but even more so in terms of the strong and inspirational corporate culture. Twilio is a once in a generation company and a fundamental building block in the innovation economy. Jeff himself is, hands down, one of the most inspirational leaders I've worked with. He leads with his heart."


Resolving conflict is one of the key things companies do, since you have lots of people with lots of ideas about how the company should proceed.
