Twitter founders speak at company all-hands meeting ahead of IPO
SAN FRANCISCO -- Twitter founders Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey turned up at the company’s San Francisco headquarters to talk with employees, setting off a firestorm of speculation that Twitter will make public on Thursday the papers it filed secretly over the summer to sell shares to the public.
Twitter staffer Luke Millar posted a photograph on Twitter of the three founders sitting on a couch with Dorsey speaking: “Twitter founders (@ev, @biz, @jack) in the house today.â€
Each week Twitter holds “tea time,†in which Chief Executive Dick Costolo and other executives give short presentations and take questions. It usually takes place in the afternoon.
A Twitter spokesman confirmed the founders spoke at the all-hands meeting but would not say what was discussed.
