Russian billionaire Yuri Milner recently participated in a $1.4 million round of financing for Flotype, an American startup that offers realtime messaging technologies for cloud and mobile applications. Andreessen Horowitz, Ignition Partners, Salesforce and Y Combinator also took part in the deal, Techcrunch reported today.
A co-founder of the prominent Russian Internet investment fund DST Global, Milner has invested in a number of US startups. Among his most notable targets last year were iPad medical publisher DrChrono and Airtime, a video chat service he launched with US Internet stars Sean Parker and Shawn Fanning.
