[qi:110] Two years ago I came up with the term fundinista to refer to a startup that’s relentlessly raising venture capital. Add mobile payments company Obopay, which has received a $70 million injection from Nokia, to that list. That’s on top of $69 million it got in April of 2008 from investors such as Qualcomm. I have yet to meet anyone who is actually using this service, but never mind. CEO Carol Realini is good at getting investors to wire them the money!
