Beam is a Berlin-based company builder specializing in logistics and technical challenges. Founded in 2017 and actively supported by BEUMER Group since early 2018, Beam operates as an independent startup company incubator that co-founds three software-focused startups annually to address critical logistics and intralogistics problems. The company builder identifies non-obvious, market-changing business opportunities in the logistics sector and collaborates with outstanding founders to launch startups that address business problems at least 5X better than the status quo. Beam applies a problem-based ideation approach rather than starting with ideas or technologies, conducting extensive research to identify urgent problems affecting large numbers of potential B2B customers. The venture studio is backed by BEUMER Group, a family-owned German intralogistics company with over €1 billion in annual turnover, 5,600+ employees across 70+ countries, and access to hundreds of industrial customers. Beam operates with complete independence in terms of decisions, budget, and processes while maintaining intensive coordination with BEUMER Group on content and direction. The studio's unique value proposition includes pre-seed funding exceeding €600k, access to over 10,000 B2B customers across seven global markets, connections to 300+ logistics industry experts, and validated business opportunities. Beam aims to become the world's most successful logistics company builder and has launched 10+ startups over seven years.
