Neal Jean
Co-founder & CEO at Beacons
Now that there's lots of companies building for creators, it definitely gets complicated especially as companies expand into new functionality that starts to overlap. One guiding principle for us is that we try to optimize for long-term value creation for the user. Sometimes this means that we’ll choose to build functionality ourselves if we think it's important, even if it’s costly, and sometimes we choose to partner because we decide not to compete in those areas. And sometimes we do both because we think it's better to give users options (e.g., with donations).
Beacons is a mobile link-in-bio website builder.
