Twitter Worth $250M; Gets $20M in Funding
Twitter Worth US$250m, Gets US$20m Injection
Michael Arrington’s sources tell him that Twitter has secured a new round of funding
totalling at least US$20m. You can add this to the pile that it got from Jeff Bezos’ venture capital arm during the summer. That injection priced the company at US$100m , but Techcrunch reckons that the new round prices Twitter at US$250m.
Facebook tabled an audacious takeover bid for Twitter a couple of months ago, offering a nominal US$500m deal comprised mostly of Facebook stock. Not least because nobody has any idea what Facebook stock is actually worth, Biz Stone and the boys knocked Zuckerburg back.
