and climate rescuers

Focus

BeAI is the holding company of angel investor Nikolaus D. Bayer. We invest in early stage B2B startups, usually shortly before or shortly after their market entry. We pay particular attention to ventures working on ambitious and substantial technological advances.

Beyond financial resources, an essential aspect of each involvment is a steady company as advisor and sparring partner - based on more than 20 years of active entrepreneurial experience.

Our main focus is on software ventures. We are particularly fond of topics in the domains of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, operations research, and impact/sustainability. Regarding hardware, we are looking at startups fighting climate change.

Ultimately, commercial success counts. On top of this, we love ventures which make this world a better place. Some examples are our past and current investments in better living, education, green technologies, or IT security.
