Our Mission: Beacons is creating new economic opportunities for creators.
We believe that the future of work is going to see more people constructing a career that they really enjoy around who they are online — and creators are the first wave. If you’re excited for this future and want to help us get there sooner, please get in touch!
We recently raised a $6m seed round led by a16z and with participation from Li Jin, Naval Ravikant, The Chainsmokers, Night Media, and a bunch of other great investors — see the TechCrunch article here or our own blog post.

Life at Beacons
Right now we're a small team that's based in San Francisco but working from home like everyone else. We're open to hiring remotely (in North America), but expect to find an office in San Francisco at some point TBD.

We do team dinners every Tuesday, and sometimes (often) get ice cream after🍦
Our Values
- Always keep learning: our company was started by 3 machine learning PhDs. We're thoughtful in our decision making, do things with intention, ask why, and prioritize learning and growth as people.
- Have a bias toward action: we move fast but thoughtfully in order to learn. We innovate by taking calculated risks, tackling ambitious goals, planning ahead, and executing well.
- Be collaborative: we challenge and support each other. We believe every person brings something new to the table, and we want everyone to bring their full, authentic selves to work. We seek to understand first and then to be understood. We listen first and ensure everyone is truly heard. We express confident humility. While we're confident in our capabilities, we are humble in that we are willing to change our mind with new information and perspectives.
