Despite Lady Gaga’s demanding world tour schedule that fall, Mr. Carter and Mr. Michelsen quietly founded a start-up, the Backplane, with a team of seven. The company, which has not yet been unveiled, is a platform meant to power online communities around specific interests, like musicians and sports teams, and to integrate feeds from Facebook, Twitter and other sites.

 

“Backplane will provide a platform and tools for communities to socialize and communicate on a more focused level,” Mr. Carter said, sounding less like a pop star’s manager and more like an entrepreneur delivering the typical elevator pitch. “We needed a more concentrated base.”

...

Mr. Carter’s own venture, Backplane, is attracting capital from prominent backers. The company has raised more than $1 million from a group of investors led by Tomorrow Ventures, the investment firm of Google’s chairman, Eric E. Schmidt. Lady Gaga, who has acted as an informal consultant, is also a major shareholder, with a 20 percent stake.

Lady Gaga's manager Troy Carter earmarks $75m fund for tech startups

Music mogul is already an active technology investor with stakes in Spotify, Dropbox, Uber and other startups

 

Troy Carter's investments also include Backplane, the US startup that powers Gaga's Little Monsters web community. Together with Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, he epitomises a growing sense among music industry figures that investing in technology may be just as important as investing in artists in the coming years.

 

"I think the idea of having an application is the future," he told The Guardian in November 2012. "People don't buy horses to ride around any more for transportation. I just think the world changes. As a business, we have to make the proper adjustments."

​I found the site to mainly be people who are trying to get Gaga's attention.  The fans don't talk to each other like they do on GGD. 

The one good thing that I liked about it was the simplicy of posting photos, and thats about it.  Chatting and posting was pointless and a mess of people clawing at each other.

The like system was fake since people could open a new photo with 2k like before anyone even looked at it.

Applause for you sir! That was my main issue with LM.com. No genuine communitycommunity or discussion. Just lots of vanity and narcissism.

no need to be so shady guys. This isnt like the ARTPOP app. Just because Troy was a CO-founder, it doesn't mean she can't or won't use the site anymore. she updated her profile recently and uploaded new lyrics a few months ago that barely anyone knows about. Haus members use it too

That place is dead compared to before. Gaga needs to post exclusive selfies and posts on there in order for that site to have more activity.

​nobody's being shady, GGD is just a lot more user friendly than lm.com. I haven't logged into it in months actually, it is much easier to get Gaga news and chat about organized topics on this forum. Nobody cares if she updates her profile or whatever on there, it's just way faster and easier to get up to date info that's all organized here. If lm.com is going to survive I think they're going to have to change their format to more of an organized forum than it is now. 

 

]sorry bout all that tea :later:

​I don't know much about formates and user friendly , but the difference between GGD and LM.com for me was the users. 

People come to GGD and get info and updates ect. about Gaga but they talk to each other about all sorts of things ,  and not just bash or shade either.  I didn't see much of that at LM.com and the main thrust of the users there was ................"GAGA, GAGA LOOK AT MY ... GAGA GAGA HEY  HEY GAGA"

​we're working on it (im a mod there)!!! Is there any specific things you would like to see changed? 

All the posts blend together and there's no spacing between posts or anything on mobile. It hurts my eyes that I can't see when a post ends and one begins
