News start-up Informed raises $5.4m, recruits ex-FT and Economist editors

By Andrew Kersley

Berlin-based news start-up Informed has raised a total of $5.4m (£4.3m) in seed funding ahead of a planned launch later this year.

Founded in January 2021, Informed is building an app that offers paying users a feed of “human-curated content” from different publishers in an effort to appeal to those who would rather access content from a mix of outlets than a single publication.

Ex-FT editor Lionel Barber and ex-Economist editor-in-chief Bill Emmott have also joined the advisory board of Informed.
