By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechCrunch ·

A new live show styled after TBPN has raised $1.6 million in seed funding from Powerhouse Capital, Axel Springer, LadBible, and angel investors from OpenAI and DeepMind. The network plans to use the capital for its largest expansion yet. The show has quickly become a sought-after stop on press tours.
