Hedge fund billionaire backs bitcoin payment startup
Alan Howard, the billionaire cofounder of hedge fund Brevan Howard, has backed a startup building a Venmo-like app for cryptocurrencies. Bottlepay said on Tuesday it had raised £11m ($15.5m) in seed funding from backers including Howard. The London-based startup said money also came from “present and former Goldman Sachs partners” but declined to name them.
