NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — beehiiv, the newsletter-first publishing platform built for creators and brands to own their audiences, today announced it has been ranked No. 19 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor and a reflection of the trust our users place in us every day,” said Tyler Denk, co-founder and CEO of beehiiv. “From day one, our mission has been to help creators and brands build lasting, independent businesses. This recognition belongs to our team and everyone who builds on beehiiv. Our customers push us to build the best platform in the world for anyone with an audience.”
The Inc. 5000 recognition caps a period of significant momentum for beehiiv. In July, the company unveiled its Summer Release Event, the largest platform expansion in its history, introducing Community, Copilot, a new Visual Editor, enhanced monetization tools and expanded programmatic advertising capabilities.

The company also continues to differentiate itself by taking zero dollars from what creators earn through paid subscriptions and digital products, allowing them to keep 100% of their earnings.
