Justin Bieber…Mysterious Venture Capitalist?
|
|
The next hot venture capital hotshot? Justin Bieber. Say whaaaat? Bieber’s been a mogul for some time, with a licensed perfume business to accompany his record career. Now, he’s apparently funding a web startup. What kind of startup? Good question.
Business Insider reports, “All we can tell you is that the Bieber-backed startup will be a good-natured Zynga, and it has other high-profile celebrity backers on board.” A “good-natured Zynga?” What does that mean? We asked the reporter for more details, who could only tell us, “Wish I could elaborate.”
Far as we’re concerned, Zynga, the wildly growing gaming business that operates Farmville and is backed by Yuri Milner, is plenty “good-natured.” You till the soil on a farm, for gods’ sake. Bieber is known for being a religious Christian, so perhaps “good-natured” means the startup has a Christian bent. But that’s just speculation.
Business Insider also notes that Bieber was spotted playing basketball with venture capitalist Mike Duda, who’s invested in startups like Birchbox and AirBnB.
Is Bieber an angel investor, or just an angel? (Sorry for that.)
