Bees & Bears is a Green FinTech from Berlin with the goal of facilitating capital to the heart of the green economy. We work with producers and vendors of Clean Tech (green hardware such as energy storage, heat pumps, PV, EV charging, etc.) and allows them to offer embedded financing to their customers. Thereby, producers can switch to a hardware-as-a-service model. Bees & Bears provides a digital platform that integrates into the sales of producers, operates the workflow and data, and bundles the assets. End clients don’t have to pay a high upfront and are charged a monthly rate (leasing or contracting), instead.
