After starting with less than $2,000, founder Hanu Agbodje has bootstrapped Patricia for the past four years, meaning he hasn’t taken on any institutional investors.
The startup now intends to raise up to $50 million in order to improve its system, hire blockchain developers, and meet regulatory criteria.
Agbodje estimates that the monies will be raised in the following six months.
