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. Together, the launches further strengthened beehiiv's integrated platform for newsletters, websites, podcasts, audience engagement and revenue generation, giving creators and brands everything they need to build, grow and monetize their businesses from a single platform. 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.

Based on the three-year revenue growth used to determine the Inc. 5000 rankings, beehiiv grew revenue more than 100x (10,109%) from 2022 to 2025, earning the company the No. 19 spot on this year’s list. beehiiv’s growth and innovation have also been recognized across the advertising, technology and media industries this year:

• beehiiv also earned recognition in ADWEEK's 2026 Tech Stack Awards for technology driving measurable impact across marketing, advertising and media.
• Creator Spotlight, beehiiv's podcast and newsletter featuring creators and entrepreneurs, won Best Business Podcast at the New York City Podcast Awards, while the accompanying newsletter received two Webby Award nominations.
