About

Beacons is a San Francisco-based creator platform that provides independent content creators with a link-in-bio page, AI-powered brand deal outreach tools, media kit generation, invoicing, and analytics in a unified creator business operating system. The link-in-bio feature consolidates all creator content and social profiles into a single shareable URL, while the brand outreach tools use AI to help creators find relevant brands, draft personalized partnership pitches, and negotiate deals. Beacons monetization features include digital product sales, paid newsletter subscriptions, and tip pages — all on one platform so creators do not need separate tools for each revenue stream. The company differentiates from Linktree and other link-in-bio tools by providing the full business infrastructure for creator income rather than just a link aggregation page. Founded in 2020, Beacons raised over $25M from investors including General Catalyst, Andreessen Horowitz, and Y Combinator. The platform serves hundreds of thousands of creators and has become particularly popular among emerging and mid-tier creators on TikTok and Instagram.
