Ashton Kutcher invests in Gidsy

Gidsy has a new, prominent investor: Ashton Kutcher! After Amen and Soundcloud, social marketplace Gidsy is already the third investment in a Berlin based startup by the Hollywood actor. In the US, Kutcher has been investing in tech startups for a while and with portfolio jewels such as Flipboard, Airbnb or Path, he seems to be doing a great job picking the right deals.

The round is led by Sunstone Capital and is joined by Index Ventures, Werner Vogels, and Peter Read. The total investment sum adds up to $1.2M.

For more background on Gidsy, have a look at the interview TechBerlin did with Gidsy CEO Edial Dekker some time ago. You can find the video as well as an exclusive preview of their office here.
