2261 Market Street #4319, San Francisco, CA, 94114, United States

Overview

Beacons provides creators a single, customizable mobile landing page to aggregate links, sell content, and surface monetization options like donations, affiliate links, a digital storefront, and requests. The product offers free and premium tiers; the $10/month “entrepreneur” plan adds custom domains and extra content blocks, while transaction fees are 9% on the free plan and 5% on premium. Beacons supports commerce-focused blocks such as a shopping-enabled TikTok feed, video and e-book storefronts, a requests block, analytics, and email/SMS marketing. The company emphasizes deep page customization and recently added a “community block” to highlight collaborators; high-profile users include Sia, Green Day, and Russell Brand. Beacons says its user base has grown 70% month-over-month since its October launch. The team plans to use new funding to hire additional engineers and designers and to expand the product toward a platform/ecosystem for creators.
