While it's not a huge sum of money -- especially relative to Beyoncé's estimated half-billion-dollar net worth -- the publicity her outsized star power brings to the table is no doubt worth much more.
Sidestep CEO Eric Jones tells TechCrunchthat the company “wanted Beyoncé’s tour to be very focused on tech” and liked the idea of “a tiny scrappy startup doing the biggest tour in the world.”
The investment places the star among the eclectic likes of Linkin Park, Snoop Dogg, Ashton Kutcher and the Black-Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am as celebrity luminaries of the tech world.
But it's not Beyoncé's first venture; she previously backed watermelon sports drink maker World Waters and vegan diet plan 22 Days nutrition in addition to her own Ivy Park athletic apparel line.
