Beehiiv, the all-in-one newsletter platform that has powered over 100,000 publications and sent more than 275 million emails to date, has become synonymous with the rise of independent media. But Denk is quick to point out that the platform’s mission has always been about more than just email. “Our goal is to pave the way for the next million creators, publishers, and companies to scale and monetize their audiences,” he said.

One of the biggest challenges for creators is monetizing their content without alienating their audience. Beehiiv’s approach is to give creators flexibility. “We don’t force anyone into a paywall,” Denk said. “Instead, we offer multiple ways to earn—subscriptions, sponsorships, digital products, and more.
