Upfront Backs Convoz, New Social App Startup From Chamillionaire

Los Angeles-based venture investor Upfront Ventures announced on Sunday that it has backed Convoz, a new startup created by rapper Chamillionaire. Financial details of the investment were not announced. Chamillionaire showed off Convoz in a celebrity-packed forum last week at Upfront's private conference, the Upfront Summit, on stage with Snoop Dogg. Convoz was co-founded by Nsilo Reddick. Convoz is a social application aimed at letting influencers and celebrities interact with people, but where conversations are curated to avoid trolls. Financial details of the investment were not announced.
