Substack

For this episode of Substack on Film: London, we met up with Stella Tsantekidou, a Greek writer, political pundit, and personal essayist. Stella suggested we film near Parliament, starting with the “influencer spot” where people love to pose for photos. We arrived at sunrise to beat the crowds, and were treated to views of the moon setting behind Big Ben. As we walked through Westminster, Stella shared the story of how she ended up as a talking head in London despite being a Greek immigrant to the U.K. In British fashion, we were politely asked to get off the grass in Parliament Square as we captured Stella taking a phone call to prep for a TV appearance later that day. We wrapped up the morning with a sweet treat and sent her on her way.

We’re announcing $100M in Series C funding led by BOND and TCG (The Chernin Group), with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, CEO of SKIMS Jens Grede of SKIMS, and CEO of Klutch Sports Rich Paul. Mood Rowghani will join our board. We're thrilled to partner with investors who bring deep experience across tech, media, and culture, as we put this capital to work serving creators and their communities. From our founders Chris Best, Hamish McKenzie, and Jairaj Sethi: “At Substack, we believe the heroes of culture are the ones who shape it. Technology should serve them, not the other way around. That’s why we’re building tools and a network to protect their independence, amplify their voices, and foster deep and direct relationships. These are the people who will lead us to a better culture, and a future we can believe in. This funding is our chance to support them.”

Today, Substack was listed on TIME’s list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2025.

It’s meaningful to see that work recognized. See why Substack was included: https://lnkd.in/ef_VDibs
