For investors

Why founders and investors choose Beel

You win your investors yourself and reach an agreement with them — Beel handles the execution. Fast, legally sound and without a notary, from the first investment to a clean cap table.

No notary required

Onboard investors through Beel virtual shares — no notary appointment, whatever the number of investors.

A legally sound structure

Optimised for German and Austrian GmbHs and UGs — contract templates included, built with leading lawyers.

Raise continuously

No fixed rounds. Onboard investors whenever you reach an agreement with them — the onboarding process takes only a few minutes.

Your strategy: one process

Whether five or thirty angels, VCs or friends & family — the process stays the same, with no extra work per investor.

Carry without a fund structure

Experienced investors share their dealflow with co-investors and earn carry — deal-by-deal, not a fund structure.

A liquidity option

Beel virtual shares are transferable through a secondary market — a sale option before the exit.

Fundraising with Beel

How do you close your financing round with Beel?

You convince your investors yourself — Beel handles the rest. Once you reach an agreement with an investor, everything runs in a single, digital process: you create a private offer, send it to the investor, and they go through it in a few minutes and invest. The stake runs through Beel virtual shares, so your cap table stays clean and no notary appointment is needed.

01

Send the link

Set up your round and share a private investment link with your angels — or place an invest-now button on your page.

02

Onboard investors

The investment process is fully digital: each investor onboards, signs and funds in the same process — with no notary appointment and no separate contract per investor.

03

Close digitally

The stake runs through Beel virtual shares. Your cap table stays clean, whatever the number of investors — and your next round isn't blocked.

What you should know about Beel

How do I close an angel round without a notary?
On Beel the economic stake runs through Beel virtual shares — legally sound equity profit-participation rights (Genussrechte) built with lawyers. Your investors sit in your cap table, but not in the commercial register. There is no notary appointment per investor, and you close many angels in one continuous process.

What are Beel virtual shares?
Beel virtual shares are Beel's participation instrument: equity profit-participation rights that put investors on an economic par with shareholders, without granting voting rights. They keep your cap table clean — whatever the number of investors — and are transferable through a secondary market.

How does an angel syndicate work on Beel?
As a syndicate lead you share your dealflow with co-investors, invest together in a deal and earn carry — deal-by-deal, without setting up a fund or a 10-year lock. Co-investors onboard through the same flow. Beel provides the infrastructure; you bring the deal.

Can I sell my stake later?
Beel virtual shares are transferable through a secondary market, where the issuer allows it. That is a liquidity and sale option before an exit — not trading or speculation. Simply knowing the option exists lowers the perceived illiquidity of an investment.

Who is Beel for — and who is it not for?
Beel is for (pre-)seed founders who want to close an angel round cleanly, and for active angels and scouts who run a syndicate. Beel is not an investor marketplace or a crowd: we execute the deal you have closed — we do not bring you investors.

What does Beel cost?
Founders and syndicate leads pay; investors and co-investors pay nothing. Beel earns on execution — among other things through a fee on the amount raised, plus a share of leads' carry. Those who realise the execution value are the ones who pay.

Is Beel a crypto or Web3 platform?
No. Beel is the digital platform for private startup investments — we handle angel rounds and syndicates, legally sound for German and Austrian GmbHs and UGs. The underlying technology stays in the engine room; what matters is closing your round cleanly and fast, not crypto, tokens or speculation.
