Beanstock

Beanstock, founded in 2020 by Alexandre Fitussi and Emma Malha, operates as a digital-first marketplace for buy-to-let real estate investments in France. The company's inception was driven by the founders' shared experience at the Spanish unicorn Glovo and their recognition of the complexities individuals face when trying to build wealth through property. Fitussi, with a background in investment banking at firms like Nomura and Lazard, and Malha, an HEC Paris graduate, aimed to simplify the investment process. The platform is designed to make rental property investment accessible, transparent, and manageable for all experience levels.

Beanstock provides an end-to-end service for individual investors, beginning with identifying and vetting high-yield, off-market properties. The platform offers a suite of tools and expert guidance covering every stage of the investment journey. This includes property sourcing, financial analysis, mortgage brokerage through partnerships, negotiation, and handling of legal documentation with partner notaries. A key differentiator is the company's subsidiary, Beanworks, which manages property renovations and energy efficiency upgrades, guaranteeing properties meet regulatory standards. Following the acquisition, Beanstock handles rental management, from finding the first tenant—with a guarantee to place one within 45 days or cover up to three months of rent—to managing maintenance and optimizing tax liabilities. The company primarily generates revenue through a transaction fee calculated as 10% of the property price and renovation costs, plus 25% of the negotiated discount on the listing price, payable upon signing the final deed.

The company has demonstrated significant traction, securing total funding of $16.1 million over two rounds, including a €12 million ($12.9M) Series A in April 2022 led by 360 Capital. This capital is aimed at consolidating its French market presence and expanding into other European countries. Beanstock has also launched a mobile application to allow users to track their investments and developed BeanstockPro, a tool for real estate agent partners. In 2025, the company achieved B Corp certification, underscoring its commitment to social and environmental performance.
