Meet America’s Newest $1B Unicorn

A US startup just hit a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest.

Why all the interest? EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Today, they’re moving toward commercial production, tapping into 100,000+ acres of lithium deposits in Chile, a potential $1.1B annual revenue opportunity at projected market prices.

Right now, you can invest at this pivotal growth stage for $11/share. But only through February 26. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the deadline.

This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com. Under Regulation A, a company may change its share price by up to 20% without requalifying the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Hi 👋🏻

Recently, Substack partnered with a betting company, Polymarket, further entrenching gambling in the world of journalism.

Substack will now allow writers to embed prediction market data in their articles, with native tools that make it easier to share, discuss, and debate that data directly on the platform, as the company’s co-founder and CEO, Chris Best, said in a post.

I instantly lost respect for Substack. I never considered it a hero platform, especially as it’s increasingly becoming just another social media network, something I’ve already shared in earlier editions.

So, if not Substack, should you use Kit? No, a big no.

Then what should you use? beehiiv.

I’ve been using beehiiv since 2023, and I can confidently say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Why I use beehiiv

I’ve shared earlier that my 100% earnings come from beehiiv. Now let me tell you why I use beehiiv.

  1. 0% Commission – Yes, beehiiv does not take even 1% commission from its users. You can offer paid subscriptions or sell your digital products, and you keep 100% of your earnings.

  2. Ad Network – This is what keeps my newsletter alive. I get sponsors for almost every edition, and beehiiv makes it happen.

  3. Editor – I no longer use Notion or any other tool to write my drafts. I write directly on beehiiv. Its rich editor makes my life much easier.

  4. Referral Programme – On Kit, you need to use SparkLoop to run a referral programme. Beehiiv, however, has a built-in referral feature. By the way, have you ever referred Insideletter to anyone?

  5. Website – I am not a big fan of managing websites, but beehiiv’s website features convinced me to use one. I did not have to build anything from scratch. There are plenty of themes to choose from, and I even used AI to customise the rest.

  6. Analytics – I am genuinely a big fan of beehiiv’s analytics. They are in-depth, and you can clearly see the source of your subscriber acquisition and traffic.

  7. Customer Service – I have used many SaaS tools, but very few compare to beehiiv. Their support team responds quickly and does not try to close your ticket every single time.

Start here

If you want to start on beehiiv, here’s my link to use. You can get a 20% discount for the next 3 months.

But a tool won’t help you build a newsletter business. It’s a game of positioning, distribution and quality of the content, or rather i’d say the audience.
