World No. 2 Andy Murray announced he has made three further investments in British start-ups on U.K. equity crowdfunding platform Seedrs. Murray identified the three different businesses he wanted to back, investing undisclosed amounts into each. The investments include Beeline, a smart navigation device and mobile app for bicycles, allowing cyclists to navigate by informing them of the direction and distance to their destination. Dog Tracker Nano is a live tracking device with geofencing and alerts to keep your dog safe with inbuilt tech to monitor activity, fitness and location. Lastly, blow LTD., London's leading "beauty on demand" service, delivering blow dries, makeup and nails to your door. Beeline successfully raised over £500,000 ($711,350) in under a week from over 350 investors on Seedrs, quickly exceeding its fundraising target of £400,000 ($569,080). Dog Tracker Nano has returned to Seedrs for its second round of funding and is currently over 115% of its funding target with investment from 110 investors (Seedrs).
