Hm. Does Tipjoy qualify as a startup with Twitter at the core of the business?

Also, I thought they ignored startups that had already been acquired, but then they list Summize? Shoddy analysis.

Aditya - Thanks for the comment. You're right that we did not include acquisitions in the numbers as we were primarily interested in investment into these startups.

If there any specific startups based on Twitter that you can point us to, do let us know? We'd like to ensure that the list is complete.

Appreciate it.

To further clarify, we included companies that have been funded by Angels and VCs in the analysis, not acquisitions. Summize received funding from VCs before it was purchased by Twitter. Thus, Summize's VC funding was included but its acquisition was excluded. I hope this eliminated confusion.
