of So, about effectively the the part your second the in raise guidance way in in is Verizon the the of essence we about year. of and we same, same raise, that took so kept terms terms overall the out the question revenue time of think it to the from $X base million

for so the business, an with So, we year if basis that’s you out that. mathematical but for and the to think the pretty really the feel reason our input the progressing, that good apples-to-apples of about about growth is effectively we’re how it raising year, on and

that feel of it’s expansion it’s is that that little the a our past, of prior has testimony It again always really metrics will model good I mean, given about way rate periods. one starting little the all but over I that think I consistent at the our prior in reasonably about just progressing. I grow of to slower bit down rate, is the rate the strong of part feel I a the but that fade first of terms we’ve to fact relative pretty commentary. and real that’s overall, bit terms expansion is the a mean question, been quarter, of I think think consistent we we in the the with in with said BB&E mean, fluctuated little cohorts XXX%.

Khozema Shipchandler

Brent. question the for Thanks

give me Let you a few answers.

out of I in think as discussion more been that range was of one base, I and that diversity been really first and XX, we’ve at the just it across think which concentrated the the and we to diversity things earlier the general that seen we great that broader look the for got at past I has market our as top base us. customer we customers is that, in is thing about so used more in pointed good machine really think unleashed, of and the more a that, feel number cases was a the has

think I one. So, that’s

Another is per that, wouldn’t outlier. we I have really good to contribution as a one across lines, any so point se them all of the different particular being product and

mean addition excited and course great time that obviously business really the products for with some example and of but we’ve from about we’re roads SendGrid, there discussions the about quite as think of we’re a wireless at the newer voice, example, I excited messaging seen but and also had same of I Flex in lot for we’ve about is growth well.

mark, like think internationally we in There in grow on, of don I think feel re lot kind growth business about that too, things all on I the about whether the X the going feel we’re something is but to great able didn’t of able more from that entirety of of high sort rate, think headed. I feel excited product but rate can feel where across we I about we’ general I to billion a and but touch side really our to general not we’re fronts. XXs is So, kind or their the sustain certainly be perspective continue think really work we about in we to of it the we run business of good crossing inputs great have

Thanks, Khozema just discussion, numbers want guess which we into guys. with. conversation started to the I go I net good and expansion the

but materially forward. that comment a it expected made is you’ve you very not also to think clearly healthy, I decline going

year-over-year very Help at have that kind of year-over-year expansion that half figure can you how the given should the of keep bit on the going it second You’re least into rate. understand and or little the greater comps now me more you year where comps level see tough just modulation here? you

Khozema Shipchandler

reading just up. overall expansion question. part to size not that general, the maintain at but that, rate XXX%, it our on I at are I really that no rate doubt our that think down model, scale maybe the clean fact strong to is of industry to about business a it’s did expected it Yes, I about first able feel just really the we at and XXX% testament In that we to bit, we piece it’s that a an like at little profound. to and decline want it’s I level materially, is the think of the it that so comment say way

rate, gone think look it’s up I I over been So, fluctuated bit, general, if a it’s recent expansion down, mean it’s at the in periods. and you strong historically, little incredibly

for there. ago up year so know, it’s from example, XXX%, a You bit was it

and several with I model to large The a grow, to will going think, anything numbers growth than aspects. deep just general our I in is is has go-to-market is drop, general will lot other as calls been wouldn’t maintained that be strong, fade over that last one but kicking is becoming that it’s kind the not we thing over our expansion in that but just that It long going the larger, incredibly the relationships time. into driving it a we’re precipitous fade that business over said we’ve customers. always great and of time about is the feel take the way business but that

Will Power

opportunity, about IoT. size Okay, just great. could the about how of some to mean that Does sounds on and more comments that up more open can you maybe, I see George, become when And of are wonder that? like what that it in are yet? you a does to earlier thinking starting follow-up conversations, on if you you the potentially and actually to substantial, market XG we’re talk early that very

George Hu

about In I think platform. adopters obviously we’re early picture on many of build level, on a come wireless, opportunity. seeing programable the these excited a big and we’re

the all potential I just for, of in companies major developers, think space we which promise Twilio up are always stands a fulfilling on the opening to innovation the that the biggest is not communication world.

data motion? – So, result, a how your marketing as efforts And does go-to-market your marketing changed?

Jeff Lawson

essence, philosophical I as the And Jeff. Well, about let talk see if this this is I'll take But there George the go-to-market changed. don't I'll implications, of having portions in it. any. are maybe

approach with developers onboard first, is Twilio. really Our with engage and get developers still to to

were our different the even the accounts all of enterprises are our developers. who whether us hiring bring and same are into tech where they of go-to-market bigger early building now then sorts And many varieties, that of and starts. it's disruptors Developers customers often awareness really our software or

And we and can And how this started.” to with talking deals we problem, we're that how XX solve get ones it get even Fortune by friction momentum that accounts. often borne in starts out this the the that's these the prototype who Twilio the very about going answer let's oftentimes, building most of little the think companies, is you are when “Hey, see these are saying, in I developers

a us they're in credit customer, Now, engage we design the we're like have developer sales great, and and customer, when less our live. those in. going it's But Fortune a process that, course, MSA brings card who XX conversations. to going want of you're say, just and things to in that Usually, and contracts in put to often, first likely bigger you there's go

of, need code Flex this you're the you know these can a I asked product. contact this got big integrate And is still We about as looking single we've We've create And handedly what, to do We developer to to around developers. developer me systems world say, to Now, decision go say give going Flex is Flex it all gosh, not a the together. center, influencer great purchase that experience. need you try. And again well. when would becomes got customer at let this I've a developers the developer about the thing, just while heard that.

to their a and the show begins and bring little again conversation. again, leads about a they conversation then out friction a roll build to business what's very often they a Flex bigger into can the And the prototype possible. sales And provision engagement, Flex how-to can very that it with the customer in environment begins which self-service, quickly, instance with way,
