After a decade of experience scaling businesses in private equity, Tim Huelskamp co-founded 1440 – a facts-focused curated newsletter for the intellectually curious. What started as an email to 78 friends and family, is now one of the fastest-growing media brands in the U.S., reaching 3.5M+ subscribers who want to learn about the world each day. Delivering knowledge without motives as a North Star, 1440 has attracted a dedicated subscriber base that spans political parties, ages, genders, and geographies.

Under Tim's leadership, 1440 was named Inc. 5000’s 79th fastest-growing private company in America, won the 1871’s Momentum Award, shortlisted by the Digiday Media Awards for best newsletter, and more.

Prior to 1440, Tim worked in the private equity industry at American Capital, where he pursued venture investments and leveraged buyout opportunities in technology-oriented companies, and provided operational and financial assistance while serving on the boards of numerous companies.
