“M. Michele Burns, a finance industry veteran who sits on the board of Goldman Sachs is joining the board of Circle Internet Financial, a Boston start-up that is building a payment processing system for Bitcoin. Circle launched earlier this year, and was founded by Jeremy Allaire, who has led other Internet start-ups, but recently has become a Bitcoin evangelist. The company got $9 million in funding from a number of venture capitalist firms. Jim Breyer, a partner at Accel and an early backer of Facebook (FB), is also on Circle’s board, as is Raj Date, who recently left a top post at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.”
