Students collect free cash from the Clinkle "Treat Bot" Clinkle, a mobile payment startup that was showered with $30 million in funding last year, is now distributing some of that cash in the form of a vending machine, Valleywag reports. University of California, Berkeley students have been tweeting selfies from the company’s "Treat Bot" stationed outside a campus dining hall as they collect free $20 bills for signing up for the service. The service itself is a bit confusing.
