Start-up's vision for a virtual reality pairs free games with paid ads
Summary
David Eshaghian plans to spend about $5 million in debt and cash to buy a company that helps law firms, doctors’ offices and other small shops with their computers. That feature isn’t expected to launch until this summer, but Busker already allows viewers to send small cash tips digitally to broadcasters — something it says has lead users of Twitter’s Periscope app to switch platforms. It doesn’t take possession of listed clothing, bags and other items, but instead uses digital scans and background checks to guarantee to purchasers thatll they get their money back if they don’t get what they paid for. Doctor marketing software maker PatientPop said Monday that it has closed a $20-million Series A funding round that brought in cash from Toba Capital, Athenahealth and Silicon Valley Bank. When a board member asked Tinder Chief Executive Sean Rad to go on a stroll to talk business in late 2014, the leader of the fast-growing dating app had no idea hed be taking a walk of shame back.
