Why founders and investors choose beel

You win your investors yourself and reach an agreement with them — the software does the rest. Fast, legally reviewed and without a notary, from the first investment to a clean cap table.

No notary required

Onboard investors through Profit Participation Rights — no notary appointment, whatever the number of investors.

A legally reviewed structure

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

No bureaucracy after the round

With convertible loans you eventually end up at the notary, with many investors in the commercial register shareholder resolutions get complicated — and pooling through an SPV means ongoing costs. All of that falls away with beel.

Your strategy: one process

Whether two 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 top deals with co-investors and earn carry — deal-by-deal, not a fund structure.

A sale option

Profit Participation Rights are transferable provided the issuing startup enables the secondary market — no guaranteed secondary market.

Investor closing

How do you close your financing round with beel?

You convince your investors yourself — beel provides the technology and the contracts for it. Once you reach an agreement with an investor, everything runs in a single, digital process: you create a Private Offer based on the legally reviewed contract templates and send it to the investor. They go through your own, branded subscription flow in a few minutes and invest. The stake runs through Profit Participation Rights, so your cap table stays clean and no notary appointment is needed.

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.

Onboard investors

The investment process runs on your own subscription flow: each investor onboards, signs and invests in the same process — without a notary.

Close digitally

The stake runs through Profit Participation Rights. Your cap table stays clean, whatever the number of investors — you minimise the bureaucratic effort after your round.

What you should know about beel

How do I close an angel round without a notary?

With beel the economic stake runs through Profit Participation Rights (Genussrechte) — legally reviewed and built with leading law firms. Your investors sit in your cap table, but not in the commercial register. There is no notary appointment, and you close many angels in one continuous process.

What are Profit Participation Rights?

Profit Participation Rights are beel's participation instrument: they 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 provided the issuing startup enables the 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?

Profit Participation Rights are transferable provided the issuing startup enables the secondary market. There is no liquid or guaranteed secondary market; a sale may not be possible, or only at a loss.

Who is beel for — and who is it not for?

beel is for (pre-)seed founders who want to close an angel round — often agreed on a handshake — cleanly, and for active angels and scouts who run a Syndicate. beel does not bring you investors and is not a crowd: the software executes the deal you have closed.

What does beel cost?

Founders and Syndicate Leads pay; investors and co-investors pay nothing. beel saves you the notary and legal fees of a classic round. See the pricing here.

Is beel a crypto or Web3 platform?

No. What matters is closing your round cleanly and quickly — legally reviewed for German and Austrian GmbHs and UGs. Under the hood, Profit Participation Rights are ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum: professionals can tap the benefits (non-custodial, DeFi-compatible), while for everyone else it stays a technical detail in the background.

What founders and investors say

“For me, the participation options through beel’s Profit Participation Rights and secondary market are the biggest innovation in investing since the GmbH was created — that is, since 1892.”

Dr. René Fassbender — Founder & CEO, OmegaLambdaTec

“The investment was fast and simple. I could do everything digitally and close the transaction within minutes.”

Thomas Schmidt — Business Angel of the Year 2022

“The platform is professional, clearly structured and easy to use. The fast, competent support is what won us over.”

Ralf Schollenberger — Founder, e-REVOLT

“A perfectly organised onboarding and personal support — exactly what actually moves startups forward.”

Lukas Huber — Founder, BAWA-Drinks
