Justin Timberlake said to have invested in Dekko

Having invested in ailing social networking site, MySpace, the singer and Social Network star, Justin Timberlake, is now said to have acquired a stake in Dekko, which is described as being an ‘augmented reality platform’.

The news comes from tech news site, Business Insider, which spoke to Dekko co-founder, Matt Miesnieks, who did not deny the report, simply saying that he wasn’t in a position to comment on investors. Timberlake has also not yet commented.

It is not known how much Timberlake has invested in MySpace, but he is a stakeholder in ad agency, Specific Media, which now holds a majority stake in the site. Timberlake himself has been given the task of restoring the site to something approaching its former glories and he now has an office there. Last year, he also invested in Stipple, which is another tech start-up – one that aims to help people monetise photos on the internet.

Another young actor who is a keen tech investor is Ashton Kutcher. The man who is set to replace Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men has put money into Flipboard and Foursquare amongst others.
