# C.H.BECK Takes Control of Noxtua in €100M-Plus Series C

> C.H.BECK invested more than €100 million in Noxtua and became its majority shareholder, making the Series C a strategic control investment rather than an ordinary VC round.

**C.H.BECK invested more than €100 million in Noxtua's Series C and became the legal-AI company's majority shareholder.** MANZ joined as a minority investor.

The financing was announced on September 23, 2026. Noxtua did not disclose its valuation or the exact ownership percentages.

## Deal terms

| Field | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Company | [Noxtua](/startup/noxtua) |
| Financing | **More than €100M Series C** |
| Control | C.H.BECK became majority shareholder |
| Other investor | MANZ, minority investor |
| Valuation | Not disclosed |
| Status | Company announced |

## Why this is not a standard venture round

Majority ownership changes the interpretation. C.H.BECK is not only supplying growth capital; the German legal publisher is taking control of a platform that can combine legal content, professional distribution and AI workflows.

That integration could give Noxtua stronger data rights and routes to market than a standalone legal-AI startup. It also creates strategic dependence on one controlling shareholder, particularly when product neutrality and access to competing publishers matter to customers.

## What remains unknown

The announcement does not disclose how much capital goes onto Noxtua's balance sheet versus to existing shareholders, the post-money valuation, governance rights or commercial licensing terms between the two companies.

## Bottom line

The precise description is **a €100 million-plus Series C that gives C.H.BECK majority control**. Calling it a conventional minority venture round would miss the central fact of the transaction.
