Hollywood’s unofficial ambassador to Silicon Valley will be in New York next week to talk shop.
And we don’t mean his new gig replacing Charlie Sheen on CBS’ ‘Two and a Half Men.’
Ashton Kutcher, who has 7 million followers on Twitter, will be interviewed onstage Tuesday at TechCrunch Disrupt by Charlie Rose, who will delve into the actor’s role as a prolific entrepreneur and investor.
Three tidbits courtesy of TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington on the famous actor’s tech cred:
-- Kutcher invested in Skype alongside Silverlake Partners and Andreessen Horowitz in 2009.
-- His portfolio as an angel investor includes high-profile bets such as Flipboard and Kevin Rose’s Milk.
-- He has helped companies he has backed with their products, for example by advising Blekko CEO Rich Skrenta on Blekko’s mobile offering.
