Handipoints Receives $800k from Charles Rivers and Angels

Handipoints, the virtual world based on encouraging good real-world behavior that we noted earlier this month, has received $800,000 in investment from Charles River Ventures ($250k) and various angel investors, including Keith Rabois, Georges Harik, Gady Nemirovsky, Robert Fanini, and Aydin Senkut. TechCrunch also notes that the world, in beta since November, has seen 150k users so far, averaging 3.5 users per family. The company is also looking at selling virtual goods to parents, who, in turn, can give them to children as rewards. [via TechCrunch]
