Twilio Segment is a Customer Data Platform (CDP) that enables businesses to collect, unify, and activate customer data across hundreds of tools and channels. Originally founded as Segment in 2011, the company was acquired by Twilio in 2020 for approximately $3.2 billion, becoming a cornerstone of Twilio's customer engagement platform. Segment's core technology allows companies to instrument their websites, mobile apps, and servers once via a single API, then route that data to any analytics, marketing, or data warehousing tool without additional engineering work.
