The details are still fuzzy on the new stealth video startup Planet Daily Networks, founded by Huffington Post co-founder Ken Lerer and former CEO Eric Hippeau, but it appears that the company has nabbed $5 million in funding, according to a new SEC filing first spotted by Betabeat. The Form D filing doesn’t say who is investing in the start-up, but lists Fred Harman of Oak Investment Partners; Brian Bedol, founder of Bedrocket; and Nancy Tellem, former president of CBS Television Studios, as related persons.
