Shares of Twilio, a software company that makes tools for developers to build voice and text functions into mobile apps, started trading on Thursday morning.
Twilio is hosting a live coding session on the New York Stock Exchange floor to watch its IPO open high
It opened at $23.99, well above its $15-a-share target.
To celebrate, Twilio is building apps from inside the NSYE. A trio representing the company are suited up on the stock exchange floor to code “as many apps as they can,” the company said.
