TMRW, a Miami-based Bitcoin startup, raised $1.3m in pre-seed funding round.
The round was led by Maple VC, with participation from prominent Bitcoin angel investors, including Brad Mills.
The company intends to use the funds to expand into the US market, as well as make both bitcoin and fiat features available internationally.
Co-founded by Ari Ramdial and Alexandra Lutchman, TMRW provides a social payments app that introduces peer-2-anywhere payments powered by the Lightning Network and enabled by Universal Money Addresses (UMA), an open payment standard built on the Lightning Network. UMA allows anyone to send and receive money 24/7 using their favorite UMA-enabled wallet, exchange, or bank. It’s like an email address but for money. TMRW is partnering with Lightspark to support cross-border USD payments over the Lightning Network for US customers.
TMRW allows users to add text, or images to payments, react, and share their Bitcoin purchases with friends.
The team is currently running pilots in the Caribbean, the mobile app is now available in beta for iOS users.
