Kesha is now a startup founder

Quick Summary:

Kesha may have taken the dollar sign out of her name, but now, the singer is thinking about money again — not for herself, but to fund the seed round of her new startup, Smash.

He spent twelve years at Apple building some of the first iOS apps, then worked at Facebook, where he built the Year-In-Review feature.

He left to start a social video platform called Rheo, which TechCrunch covered in 2016.
