Onramp Rises From the Dead
Tyrone Ross shocked the industry when he announced his leave earlier this year from Onramp – the cryptoasset startup he and Eric Ervin co-founded together. Many of us were left wondering how the company would move forward sans Ross’ positive personality and massive talents.
Well, wonder no more: Onramp just published a press release detailing their latest Series A funding. While it’s not exactly clear how many dollar signs the startup has secured, we do know that the funding comes from JAM FINTOP – a leader in early-stage fintech investments for more than two decades.
While we still have questions about what direction Onramp will take next, this news bodes well for the startup’s future – congrats, Onramp! 🎉
