Beam is a Berlin-based startup company builder backed by BEUMER Group — a family-owned, global intralogistics company with over 85 years of history. We offer pre-seed funding, access to real B2B customers, hands-on launch support, and — above all — pre-validated business opportunities for those ready to co-found a startup.
We don’t hand you a solution. We hand you a pre-validated problem — sourced from over 50 opportunities we research annually, filtered through strict commercial and strategic criteria. Our current problem spaces span airport baggage systems, circular logistics, inflight retail, mining equipment maintenance, used industrial equipment marketplaces, regulatory compliance automation, and more. Your goal: launch a high-potential software startup in the logistics and industrial technology space, leveraging BEUMER Group’s customer base, domain expertise, and market access as your unfair advantage.
Build a product vision, find a tech co-founder, secure 2 pilot commitments
Not every validation leads to a startup — and that’s by design. You have 5+ years of professional experience in corporate environments — consulting, strategy, operations, engineering, product management, or industrial technology.
You are committed to launching a startup. This is not a side project. This is a path to becoming a co-founder.
You can identify a clear company vision and market opportunity and are prepared to defend it with data — rigorously.
You find hacks to move faster, do your homework, and go the extra mile to find the opportunity your competitors will miss.
You are business fluent in English (and, in best cases, German).
Co-founder equity — we think long-term and want our founders’ motivation to be rock solid.
~ Solid funding: if your startup reaches go-to-market, our funding committee secures the runway you need — minimum 18 months after every round.
~ Active support in finding suitable co-founders for your venture.
~ A home base at our Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg offices alongside other Founding Leads and startup teams.
