Twilio, a cloud communications platform, announced it has raised $12 million in a Series B round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The San Francisco company allows other developers to build on top of its pay-as-you-go telecommunications platform, creating a wide array of text and phone-based applications. The beauty of the software-as-a-service platform is that it does all the back-end work so developers can plug in apps using a common set of APIs. More than 20,000 customers have built communications apps on top of Twilio, including Salesforce, Ebay, and Media Temple and start-ups like GroupMe, which recently launched a group text messaging service.
