“We launched on beehiiv with nothing, scaled to over 250,000 subscribers, and got acquired all in under a year. beehiiv is that powerful.”

Shaan Puri

Founder of Milk Road

“We’ve been working with beehiiv for a year now and can’t recommend the product and their team more. It’s an intuitive, easy-to-use, and an all-inclusive product that’s only made better by the great team behind it.”
