Beanstock

What Beanstock does

Beanstock is a French PropTech platform founded in 2020 by Emma Malha and Alexandre Fitussi that operates an online marketplace for the discovery, acquisition, renovation, and ongoing management of buy-to-let residential property in France, with an emerging cross-border presence. The platform combines a self-serve web application (app.beanstock.com) and native iOS/Android mobile apps with human investment advisors who guide clients through financing simulation, property selection, notarial coordination, and post-purchase management. Its core revenue model is transaction-based: Beanstock charges 10% of the total project amount (purchase price plus works budget, with a €16,900 minimum) plus 25% of any negotiated discount on the sale price, with the fee collected at the acte authentique. Additional revenue streams include a €600 project validation fee, optional ongoing property management (Gestion Locative), and LMNP (Loueur Meublé Non Professionnel) fiscal declaration services.

The technology stack centers on a proprietary application for property discovery and analysis, financing simulation, and portfolio management, hosted on AWS and integrated with HubSpot for CRM and scheduling. Beanworks, a wholly-owned subsidiary, handles architectural design, renovation, and construction follow-up with guaranteed budgets, timelines, and DPE D energy compliance. Distribution operates through multiple channels: direct digital acquisition, a dedicated CGP (wealth management advisor) partner program, the SeLoger marketplace partnership, and a non-resident/expat track for international investors. The company cites 1,500+ projects managed, over €200M in cumulative customer-invested GMV, 2,000+ lots under management, 1,000+ thermal sieves renovated, and 500+ investors with a 25% repeat investment rate.

Beanstock has raised €14.5M in venture funding to date — a €2.5M seed in June 2021 and a €12M Series A led by 360 Capital in April 2022 with participation from Axeleo Capital, Entrée Capital, FJ Labs, PT1, Realty Corporation, and angel investors. The team comprises approximately 80 employees (referred to internally as "80 beans") based primarily in Paris. Recent strategic activity includes the launch of external rental management, fiscal declaration, and energy renovation services in 2025, international expansion to 5+ countries, and B Corp certification. BeanstockPro serves as a sub-brand for real estate professionals, complementing the core consumer offering.

Direct peers

• Masteos: French PropTech offering turnkey buy-to-let investment properties with renovation, rental management, and fiscal optimization — almost identical product wedge to Beanstock, targeting the same retail investor and CGP segments in France.
• Brickstarter: French PropTech enabling individual investors to buy fractions of rental properties; competes directly for the same first-time and multi-property French investor base as Beanstock with a co-ownership variant of the buy-to-let thesis.
• Anaxago: Paris-based investment platform with a strong real estate vertical, including turnkey property investment opportunities; overlaps with Beanstock's investor offering and partner network.
• Homunity: French PropTech platform enabling collective (crowdfunding) real estate investment in residential buy-to-let, serving the same investor persona as Beanstock with an alternative operating model.
• Bricks: European real estate investment platform offering fractional ownership of rental properties; comparable to Beanstock's non-resident and expat-investor track and an example of cross-border PropTech expansion.
• Fundimmo: French real estate crowdfunding platform serving individual investors looking for yield-generating property exposure; competes with Beanstock for the same retail investor capital pool.

Broad incumbents

• Bien'ici: Major French property portal backed by leading real estate agencies; competes for buyer attention and listing inventory with Beanstock's marketplace functionality and SeLoger partnership.
• SeLoger: France's largest property portal and Beanstock's official partner on the investment segment; a broader incumbent that dwarfs Beanstock in traffic but does not specialize in turnkey investment products.
• idealista: Leading European property marketplace operating across Spain, Italy, and Portugal; relevant as Beanstock expands internationally to 5+ countries and could leverage similar partnership mechanics.

Emerging players

• Liberkeys: French PropTech providing fixed-fee real estate brokerage services; adjacent to Beanstock's investor-facing transactional services but focused on the broader residential sales market rather than buy-to-let.
