麥克漢默

????上世紀(jì)九十年代，說唱樂手麥克漢默多樣化的造型為嘻哈文化的流行起到了推波助瀾的作用。而現(xiàn)在，他又轉(zhuǎn)戰(zhàn)實(shí)業(yè)和投資行業(yè)。盡管漢默的社交媒體舞蹈網(wǎng)站DanceJam 以失敗告終，但他還投資了其他一些公司，比如快速成長的手機(jī)支付初創(chuàng)企業(yè)Square and Bump科技公司。該公司開發(fā)了一種應(yīng)用軟件，能夠讓用戶擺脫智能手機(jī)，自由交換聯(lián)系方式。他的下一個(gè)投資項(xiàng)目是還在開發(fā)階段的搜索引擎WireDoo。漢默和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)希望該產(chǎn)品最終能夠比現(xiàn)有搜索引擎提供更全面的搜索結(jié)果。

MC Hammer

????The rapper, whose stylings helped popularize hip-hop in the 1990s, found another calling as an entrepreneur and investor. Although his social media dance site DanceJam fizzled, "Hammer," as he's called in tech circles, has invested in companies like the rapidly growing mobile payments startup Square and Bump Technologies, the developer behind an app that lets users "bump" their smartphones and trade contract information. Up next? WireDoo, a search engine still in development that Hammer and his team hope will ultimately offer more comprehensive results than current offerings.
