Former Square Wallet Lead, Google PM Raise $1.2M For Secret (Which Is A Secret)
David Byttow, the former technical lead for Square Wallet, and Chrys Bader-Wechseler, a former Google product manager at Google+, Photovine and YouTube, are raising $1.2 million for a new stealth startup called Secret. “Nothing is a secret these days,” Bader-Wechseler said, declining to comment on his startup or the round. Byttow designed the infrastructure for Square’s partnership with Starbucks, and was a previous technical lead at Google+. Bader-Wechseler was brought into Google after creating a photo app called Treehouse and a video service laced around Twitter called Vidly. He released Google’s competitive entrant into the photo-sharing space called Photovine, before it got folded and he joined the Google+ effort. We hear the seed round includes investors like Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Google Ventures and KPCB, but Bader-Wechseler declined to comment or confirm any of that.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/uXtqVMbELU8/
