Game of Thrones Maisie Williams in business

Game of Thrones" Maisie Williams is a knife-twirling, face-stealing psychopath - but today she's breaking into the world of tech. Williams is launching her new social app Daisie at 2 p.m., and she has a pretty big vision to "revolutionise the way young people use social media," according to a press release promoting the launch. Williams was in San Francisco last month talking to investors about the app and she has already secured funding from undisclosed venture capital firms. Talks with other backers continue and Business Insider understands that Williams has not personally invested in the project. Williams said in a statement the aim of Daisie is to combat a "who-you-know" culture in creative industries by connecting people and hosting interviews with big name actors, musicians, and designers. "Previous to Daisie, success in the creative industries was wholly dependent on luck and 'ins' to the industry. Daisie introduces a new way into the creative world; through connections made organically and the natural development of your skills, propelling individuals to the next level," she added. On Twitter, Williams expressed big international ambitions for Daisie.
