Our portfolio company Twitter announced today that they have closed a second round of financing, led by Spark Capital and including Jeff Bezos’ investment entity Bezos Expeditions. Union Square Ventures and Digital Garage, another existing investor, also participated in the round.
We remain very excited by the power of marrying communications and social media in the form of small microblog messages shared between friends and followers. Twitter will use the financing to shore up its infrastructure which is the number one priority of the company right now.
