Digital Media Site for Animal Lovers Raises $4.68 Million

Discovery Digital backs The Dodo

The Dodo, a new digital media site with a focus on animals, has raised $4.68 million with backing from Discovery Digital. Initial investors SoftBank Capital, Greycroft Partners, RRE Ventures and Lerer Ventures were part of the round, as well.

"We couldn't be more thrilled and excited to be working with Discovery," The Dodo co-founder and editor at large Izzie Lerer said in a statement. "There is no company that has done more to put animals front and center—they've made animals the focus as opposed to a fringe topic."
