Invest in DokiFinder: lost and found, rebuilt
DokiFinder is a lost-and-found platform for people and the places where things get lost. Built in Munich. We're opening our first funding round.
Lost property is still run on paper. We're changing that.
DokiFinder is a lost-and-found platform for everyone, with a business product for the places where most things get lost.
The problem
Hotels, transport companies, venues and campuses collect thousands of lost items every year. Many still log them in paper books or spreadsheets, answer calls one by one, and post returns by hand. Owners don't know where to look, and most items are never returned.
The solution: one platform, two sides
Each side makes the other more useful.
- For businesses: a simple dashboard to log found items, review claims, ship items back and get paid.
- For everyone: a public place to search for lost things and post found ones, with the finder's reward held safely until the handover.
How DokiFinder makes money from people
The consumer side earns on every return.
- A 20% commission on every reward paid on the platform, including tips. The owner pays it on top; the finder keeps the full reward.
- Rewards follow German law (the finder's reward rules), so every return creates a reward, and every reward creates a commission.
How DokiFinder makes money from organisations
The business side earns monthly and on every return.
- Monthly plans: Starter €39, Professional €129 and Enterprise €499, also billed yearly. Bigger plans add more items, team members, locations and system integrations (API).
- A 10% commission on recovery fees that businesses choose to charge owners for returning an item.
- A €1.99 processing fee per claim for businesses on the free plan. Public bodies are exempt.
- A 20% commission on rewards at venues, companies and community organisations that use the reward model.
Why it scales
Every organisation that joins earns DokiFinder money in three ways at once: its plan, the returns of its items, and the people it brings to the platform, who then lose, find and reward things themselves.
That's the flywheel: business revenue starts it, and consumer revenue multiplies it. Each new organisation makes the platform more valuable for every person, and each new person makes it more valuable for every organisation.
How investors benefit
Investors own a share of a company with income from both businesses and people. As each side grows, it grows the other, and every new organisation adds plan revenue, return fees and new users at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have revenue?
Not yet. The product is finished, and we're setting up our first pilots now.
Who is on the team?
DokiFinder was founded and built by Betrand in Munich. We're currently looking for a co-founder for growth.
Why will people use it?
Because the items are there. Every business that joins puts its found items in front of the people looking for them.
Why now?
Lost property is still mostly managed by hand, while travel, events and campus life keep growing.
About DokiFinder
DokiFinder is a lost-and-found recovery network for people and organizations. Owners report lost items for free; honest finders report what they found. AI-assisted matching compares the two, the owner's reward is held securely, finders are identity-verified, and the reward is released only after both sides confirm the handover. Available on the web in 13 languages. Reporting is free.
