Fundraising with beel

How do you close your financing round with beel?

You convince your investors yourself — beel provides the technology 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 virtual shares, so your cap table stays clean and no notary appointment is needed.

What you should know about beel

How do I close an angel round without a notary?

With beel the economic stake runs through beel virtual shares — legally reviewed equity profit-participation rights (Genussrechte) 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 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 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?

beel virtual shares 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, beel virtual shares 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
