ANECDOTE

From Skeptic to Founder

Tyler initially dismissed Morning Brew's newsletter idea as "stupid" while in Tel Aviv.
Ironically, he later built a company, Beehiiv, around newsletters.

ANECDOTE

Basement Beginnings

Tyler, broke and living in his parents' basement, took a $3,000 contract to build a social share feature for Morning Brew.
Despite almost quitting multiple times due to challenges, he delivered the product.

You may not know Tyler Denk’s name yet, but you will.

He looks like pretty normal a 20-something kid who came from a middle class neighborhood in Maryland — now transplanted to sunny Southern California. He’s hungry with ambition and got that look in his eyes -- like the eye of tiger. You know, that feeling we've all had when we thought we had the world in the palm of our hands.

Tyler is building what some might call a boring business — a SASS product called Beehiiv for people who write and email newsletters. The thing is, newsletters are only boring if you suck at writing them.

And there’s millions of dollars to be made from them with case studies like Alex Liberman and Austin Rief’s Morning Brew that sold for $75M where Tyler wrote most of the early code… There’s The Hustle which the Sam Parr sold for $25M to Hubspot and others. Tyler is self-made and he is anything but ordinary.

If you’re into music you might know him from his world famous Big Desk Energy playlist on Spotify. After Morning Brew, he did a season at Youtube Music, got Covid in 2020 and had to cancel a much needed vacation to San Diego. Instead, he build what might be the world’s most intuitive and effective SASS product for great writers who want to build an audience via an amazing newsletter.
