Goldfinger over a year ago bought a 10.4% stake in WhiteSmoke, which despite its name, was a struggling software company at 30 agorot (8 cents) a share and said he intended to become an active investor. Yair Goldfinger, one of the founder of the legendary ICQ, the first internet chat application, has struck gold twice – this time in medical marijuana and purely by accident. Founded in 2015, Rapyd has offices in London, Singapore, Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv and employs 150 people. “The market opportunity for online merchants, the gig economy, online lenders and banks looking to provide access to funds instantly, is constrained due to the challenges of accepting and making local payment methods and cash transactions,” said Raptd CEO Arik Shtilman.
More than half of all transactions worldwide are done by bank transfer, but merchants find it difficult to complete them. Using Rapyd’s platform, businesses can integrate payments like bank transfers, e-wallets, or cash into any digital application. The round was led by General Catalyst and Stripe, joined by Target Global, IGNIA and others at a company valuation of $300 million. Rapyd, whose platform lets businesses and consumers pay or be paid by whatever payment method they choose, said on Wednesday it had secured $40 million in capital. Rapyd pulls in $40m for payments platform ICQ founder, Yair Goldfinger, at the DLD Innovation Conference, Jaffa, January 2012.
