Why beehiiv?

We're remote. We believe that your best work is done where you feel safe, comfortable, and supported.
Empathy, not ego. Empathy opens the door to problem solving. Our team is uniquely talented and we can solve any problem when we lead with empathy.
Bias towards action. Most decisions can be changed or altered, but progress cannot be created without action. It is almost always better to deliver something today over something that may be better tomorrow.
Complete transparency. You will have full access to business metrics about the company.
Owner-attitude. Ownership creates a sense of pride and accountability. It empowers someone to stand up for what is right, with a long-term outlook.
