Companies doing Business via Twitter

The first business tweet...million dollar tweet...



Last October, finance-tracking startup 60mo sent a tweet to Lightbank that read: “Hey @lightbank, we should chat sometime. Mid-westerners gotta stick together, yo.
Three months later, Lightbank has its response: “fo sho”.
Today, 60mo is announcing that it’s closed a Series A funding round led by Lightbank. Exact details of the deal aren’t being disclosed, but we’re told it’s “in the range of a million dollars”. And yes, that tweet was actually the first time the two organizations communicated with each other.
