“Co-founders Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg have raised a $12 million round led by Google Ventures, along with Spanx founder Sara Blakely. Earlier investors, including 21st Century Fox, RRE and Homebrew, are in this round as well. The company says it will use some of the money from its new round to build more subscription services — a very 2018 idea in mediaworld — and that it hopes its Google connections can help it with some of its product plans.” —
