What do Lady Gaga and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have in common? Well according to a very interesting piece in the New York Times by former TCr Evelyn Rusli, they've both invested in Backplane, a new startup founded by Lady Gaga's business manager Troy Carter. Schmidt's Tomorrow Ventures and Gaga have partnered up to finance Cartier's still in stealth startup, with Gaga being a 20% shareholder. Tomorrow Ventures is leading the angel round, which is currently at over $1 million. It is not clear yet as to whether it has closed.
