Three-time Grand Slam tennis champion Andy Murray has invested in two startups via crowdfunding platform Seedrs as part of an overall $2.6 million funding round. Murray joined Seedrs in 2015 as a strategic advisor and is currently a board member.
Murray has firstly invested in GoodBox, a startup specializing in helping the charity sector move away from cash donations to receive this money via contactless or debit cards instead. The company is already working with 12 Church of England cathedrals and a number of the most visited museums in the U.K.
Andrew O’Brien, Co-Founder of GoodBox said in a statement: “The GoodBox team are thrilled to welcome Andy Murray as a shareholder.
