Burning Hot: Bitcoin, Kipochi and M-Pesa | GTA 5 | Martin Bjergegaard

What do you get when you combine advice for startups, the much-anticipated new Grand Theft Auto game and Bitcoin? This week’s episode of Burning Hot.

In the latest installment of our round up of some of the top stories on the ‘burn sites, Stuart Thomas highlights how Kipochi is bringing Bitcoin to African phones by allowing people to send and receive the digital currency and convert it to and from an M-Pesa balance. This could help expats living abroad send money to friends and family cheaply and quickly, without going through a bank or money transfer service.

This week, the new trailer for GTA V also hit the web, showing off the scenes, characters and heists gamers can expect once the title launches in September. Ventureburn also shared a Q&A with Startup Bootcamp co-founder Martin Bjergegaard, who shares some tips for pitching to investors, insights into how his accelerator works and why they’re so open to exits.
