ETN steps up bid to become Europe’s TBPN with $1.6m raise: ‘We’re taking this incredibly seriously’
Sifted
ETN, a London-based tech media startup, raised $1.6 million in seed funding from investors including Axel Springer and angels from OpenAI and DeepMind to expand its live show format and become Europe's equivalent to US tech media outlet TBPN. The round was oversubscribed, and ETN has increased its weekly live shows from two to five while building a new studio and hiring experienced talent including former Bloomberg and TBPN staff. The funding enables ETN to keep pace with Europe's accelerating startup ecosystem and provide daily coverage of AI and tech stories that traditional media may not cover at the required speed.
