Correct. It's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Growens. It started as a project within MailUp, the email service provider that is still a big part of Growens. The project grew, and so it became a separate business unit within the group, based in the US.
Thanks for the note. Email is such a versatile tool: all kinds of use cases and all sorts of ways to address those use cases. You're absolutely right that - for some of the use cases - plain text is the way to go.
BTW: BEE is now a visual builder for more than emails. In fact, going with a couple of from a landing page to an email (and vice versa), is one of the really cool things you can do with it.
BEE is a startup within a larger company (https://www.growens.io/). The parent company funded the startup. At the very beginning, it was a team of 6 (2 of which part-time), if I remember correctly.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Truly appreciated. And yes, most of our product and development team is still Italy-based, across many regions of Italy :-)
Thanks for the note and for your interest in what we do! You can use the templates freely to design emails and pages on beefree.io. If you want to embed our visual builders in your application (i.e. you want to use BEE Plugin), and you also want to create a template catalog within your application, you can purchase our template catalog (all of it or a portion of it). I would recommend getting in touch with our team for that so that they can give you all the details: https://beefree.io/get-in-touch/
Thanks again!
The problem here is that I don't know what the limits are to communicate them to others.
In the UI, I can design a free email and export it. The UI doesn't allow me to remove the BEE attribution, but I could easily remove it after exporting. Is that allowed? Am I allowed to modify the design outside of the beefree.io interface?
If we're offering a product that sends emails for people, can I build a generic email off one of the templates and use that for each client?
Your question seems to be along the line of "you do know I can use this to make money for free?"
Their goal as I understand it is "yes, but we will make it so cool and easy and reliable after a while you will want to pay for the extra to make even more money"
Believe it or not, it's a complete coincidence. Nathan interviewed me on September 23rd, and we had no control on when the interview would actually be published on his podcast.
Yep. If I remember correctly, that's a tough one that we're still struggling with. BeeFree is very much a work in progress, so you'll definitely see some improvements in terms of email client rendering issues in the future. Thanks again for your feedback.
