In February we learned that Union Square Ventures had stepped up as lead investor on a $5 million round of Series B financing for Dwolla, the Iowa-based payments network that charges relatively low fees for payment processing.
This week, CEO Ben Milne revealed the identity of another, arguably much more recognizable investor: actor Ashton Kutcher.
Neither Kutcher nor Milne disclosed the exact size of the investment committed by A-Grade Investments, the celebrity’s investment firm. But Milne did tell the Associated Press that Kutcher’s influence has ““shown up
in the product already in a million different ways.”
Beyond his notoriety as an actor, Kutcher boasts a monumental following through social media. His Twitter account, @aplusk, is followed by more than 10 million users, and his Facebook profile has attracted more than 12 million fans.
We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to partner with innovators and disruptors.
