Now That?s An Investor List: Viddy Backed By Biz Stone, Shakira, And Jay-Z?s Roc Nation

Right after racing to the top of the App Store charts, Viddy just announced that it has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from a long list of celebrities ? not just tech celebrities, but also the kind that non-techies have heard of. Here's who invested: Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, Omniture founder Josh James, Skull Candy chairman Jeff Kearl, Roc Nation (the record label and entertainment company co-founded by Jay-Z), Overbrook Entertainment (founded by Will Smith and manager James Lassiter), ShoeDazzle founder Brian Lee, professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, soccer star Gerard Pique, and (I'm quoting from the press release here) "pop culture icon" Shakira.
