Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…Alex Cooper and Matt Kaplan’s Unwell is now valued at $500 million following an investment from former Endeavor, WME and TKO executive Patrick Whitesell’s new investment firm, WTSL. The financial terms of WTSL’s investment were not disclosed, but it marks Unwell’s first outside investment. Cooper, who is the host of the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” founded Unwell with Kaplan in 2023. Additionally, Unwell has a consumer products business that includes energy drinks, hydration products and stick packs, and an in-house advertising division, Unwell Creative Agency. I think, unfortunately, being a woman in this industry is extremely difficult because you’re held to a complete different standard.
