Birds of a feather
Tucker Carlson’s online media company just raised $15 million in seed capital (msn.com).
Tucker Carlson’s new media company has found a backer.
Omeed Malik, through his newly launched 1789 Capital boutique investment company, has invested $15 million in seed capital into Last Country, the startup founded by Carlson and Neil Patel, according to The Wall Street Journal .
The venture will ultimately be subscription-driven, but is currently building an audience with videos featuring Carlson streamed on Twitter, including a high-profile one with Donald Trump that ran at the same time as the first Republican candidate’s debate.

Hat tip to TPM for trying to follow a “process” with no rules, no playbook, and everyone hates each other. You are better people than I.
