Method

Neal Jean, Jesse Zhang and Greg Luppescu found Beacons in San Francisco in 2019 as a mobile first link in bio page that adds Stripe payments, email capture and invoicing. It raises 6.2 million dollars by 2021 and later rounds, charges free users a 9 percent fee on sales and paid tiers 10 to 50 dollars a month. Beacons competes with Linktree and Stan as creators turn bio links into storefronts, adding brand outreach and AI tools in 2024 to 2025. Revenue after 2021 is not disclosed.
