Linkin Park Get SMASHD!
In a new interview with SMASHD, Mike and Brad give some insight into Linkin Park’s new venture fund, start ups they believe in and why they invested into them. Real business talk, folks!
Rock stars can do just about anything they want. Bite the head off of a dove? Sure, that’s just Ozzy trying to get your attention. Trash a hotel room? Yes, that’s Led Zeppelin and probably any and every band with a gold card and indulgent management. Check off hedonism, fighting, guns, and drugs. Nothing seems off-limits.
But what about on the business side? From Mick to Bowie to Ice Cube, a fair share have successfully hopped from stage to screen. Even more have turned their personal brands into legitimate businesses. But the latest trend seems to mirror our digitally focused times: Rockstars as VCs.
One such act, Linkin Park, recently announced their plans to form a venture fund.
We caught up with band members MIke Shinoda and Brad Delson to discuss their investments in startups that so far include: Robinhood, Shyp, and Lyft.
