TWITTER FINANCING BRING S VALUE TO $1 BILLION


E ARL Y T W IT T E R F UN D E R S ST AY IN G ON T HE SI D EL I N E S T HI S T IM E
The rumour proven true, Twitter raised $100 million in a Series E round of financing, bringing the company’s total
funding to date to approximately $159 million. More importantly, the company’s value has concretely increased from
$250 million at last funding to $1 billion, established in this latest financing round.

Absent from this round of funding were Union Square Ventures and Charles River Ventures – two investors that had
participated in earlier Twitter rounds. Both of these venture firms have experienced significant gains in their Twitter
investments based on the latest valuation. Charles River specifically cited the high valuation of the latest round as an
obstacle to the firm’s participation. Could Twitter’s valuation be reaching unsustainable levels given the company’s
state of financial and operational development?

W e reprise our Value per Unique Visitor analysis. W hile the increase in value seems extraordinary, when looking at
the valuation per unique visitor (UV), the increase is less impressive – from $29 to $42 (+47%). Note that we would of
course prefer comparing valuation based on financial metrics such as cash flow or even revenue. However, Twitter
has not yet started generating any revenue.
