With no blockbuster fundings ($25 mil+), the weekly total of $82 million was the fourth-lowest since we began tracking August 1. However, the overall number of companies was 16, making it a busy week.
And we were glad to see one Finovate alum, Advance Merchant Payments ($5 mil) on the list. In addition, there was a future Finovate alum, Buttercoin. The hot cryptocurrency startup will be demoing at FinovateEurope in February.
