Justin Bieber. YouTube Sensation. Platinum Musician. Child Millionaire. Tech entrepreneur?
Alyson Shontell from Business Insider reports that the Bieber-backed startup will be a good-natured Zynga, and it has other high-profile celebrity backers on board.” Zynga of course is the gaming company behind the megahits Farmville and Cityville.
Although, like fellow crooner Justin Timberlake, who recently invested in MySpace, I’m surprised that Bieber isn’t looking to invest in some sort of music-related social media channel. After all, it was YouTube itself that gave Justin his big break.
Plus, it’s hard to bet against a gaming juggernaut like Zynga, even if you get Justin Bieber’s magic behind it.
