History
[edit]Axios HQ was launched in February 2021 as a spin-off from Axios after the media company was sold to Cox Enterprises for approximately $525 million in 2022. It was founded by key figures from Axios, including Roy Schwartz, Jim VandeHei, and Mike Allen.[1][2]
It generated over $1 million in revenue from its software licensing business, which provides tools for organizations to communicate effectively using the Smart Brevity style within 8 months of foundation.[3]
By 2023, It had surpassed $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and had expanded its offerings to include integrations with platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. This growth was supported by a $20 million Series A funding round completed in March 2023, co-led by Glade Brook Capital Partners and Greycroft Partners.[4][5][6][7]
Products
[edit]The platform provides various tools, including:
- Smart Brevity training and editorial services
- AI-powered newsletter creation & distribution software
- Analytics features that track engagement metrics such as open rates.[8]
