Silicon Valley has some new royalty.
Beyoncé just pumped $150,000 into a concert merchandise and line-cutting app called Sidestep (http://sidestepapp.com/) by way of her Parkwood Entertainment management company, according to TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/29/stackin-money-everywhere-she-goes/).

The startup first caught the singer's eye when it started peddling t-shirts and posters for her Formation World Tour earlier this year. Within a matter of weeks, Queen Bey decided to join the app's seed funding round.
