About Beatrix
Beatrix acted as a virtual social media assistant for Facebook and Twitter. Users picked keywords and it built a content plan from links sourced on Pinterest, Delicious, Reddit and StumbleUpon, filtered by human interns, and published three times a day. At launch it cost from $29 a month.Source [2]
Yongfook wrote in 2014 that it earned revenue from day one, took no outside funding and was profitable. In 2015 he folded a separate project, Inflowio, into Beatrix 2.0 with marketing interns recruited for a beach-based internship.Source [4]Source [5]
He later described Beatrix as the model he wanted to repeat: a fully featured SaaS with a real marketing program that took about six months to sustain his lifestyle.Source [6]Source [7]
