C.H.BECK takes majority stake in legal AI startup Noxtua after €100M+ Series C
German legal publisher C.H.BECK becomes controlling shareholder of Berlin-based Noxtua as MANZ joins and earlier venture investors exit.
What to know
- Noxtua's Series C tops €100 million and hands control to publisher C.H.BECK, an unusual outcome for a legal AI startup backed by venture funds.
- The deal ties Noxtua's product roadmap directly to C.H.BECK's beck-online database of more than 60 million legal documents and brings in MANZ as a second publisher-investor.
- Prior venture investors — Global Brain, KDDI Open Innovation Fund, CMS, Dentons and Dominik Schiener — exit entirely as the company pivots toward publisher partnerships across Europe.
“With our legal database beck-online, we have the largest legal database in the German-speaking world containing more than 60 million legal documents.”
