Evolution Media, the investment and advisory joint venture of talent agency CAA and TPG Growth, has provided $15m of series C funding for US-based digital media startup Attn, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Attn runs an online platform that publishes short-form videos with a progressive political slant. It is increasingly concentrating on premium series that can be shown by media partners such as ABC News and Facebook.
Bill McGlashan, founder and managing partner of TPG Growth, will join Attn’s board of directors in connection with the round, which will support the growth of the company’s television content development team.
Evolution Media led Attn’s $18.6m series B round in early 2016, participating alongside RTS Ventures, Main Street Advisors, Seacrest Global Group, and angel investors Marc Rowan, Paul Wachter, Cash Warren and Ross Levinsohn.
Seacrest Global, Troy Carter and Ross Levinsohn had supplied $4.1m in series A funding for the company two years earlier.
