What You Need to Know about Alibaba’s Recent Investment in Ofo

Last month, Alibaba (BABA) led a funding round that raised $866 million for China-based bike-sharing company Ofo. Alibaba was joined in the latest Ofo fundraising by investors including its finance affiliate Ant Financial, Haofeng Group, Junli Capital, and Tianhe Capital. Ant Financial, which operates Alibaba’s mobile payment service, Alipay, made a deal last year to acquire MoneyGram (MGI) for $1.2 billion. However, the US government blocked it from closing the deal on national security grounds.
