In the annals of celebrities investing in tech startups, this one's looking especially smart. Bono and The Edge, the singer and lead guitarist of Irish rock band U2, got into Dropbox's $250 million second round last year, they said in a tweet today.
It's the first individual, publicly announced startup investment for the vocalist, to our knowledge. And unlike grandly-conceived social media startups or late-stage investments that celebrities have gone after in recent years, Dropbox is still in its early days. I imagine some khakis-and-blue-shirt VCs are a little jealous of the multiples ahead.
