Bryan Johnson, founder of Braintree Inc., has launched a $100 million venture fund to pursue groundbreaking ideas.
Mr. Johnson was getting his MBA at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business when he launched credit card software company Braintree, which sold last year to eBay Inc. for $800 million. Although he stepped down as CEO in 2011, Mr. Johnson still owned part of the company.
