What Beek does
Beek is the app where latinos listen to the best audio content in Spanish from their favorite creators (audiobooks, meditations, audio series, and original content). Users pay a subscription to access all the content, and creators make money per minute listened. There will be an audio platform for the 480M native Spanish speakers and Beek is the team building it.

Company
Beek
Leading audio subscription platform for Spanish content
We built Beek, an app where Spanish-speaking users subscribe to access audiobooks, meditations, audio series, and original audio content from Latino creators. Listeners pay a subscription fee, and creators earn money based on minutes listened. We are building the go-to platform for 480 million native Spanish speakers who want quality audio content from creators they trust.
We live and are based in Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico, and the company remains based there.
Mexico City is the right place for us because it gives us direct access to our core audience: Latinos and Spanish speakers. The team's deep understanding of this market helps build authentic content and tailor experiences for our users.
