We have news to share: Asterisko now has the support of B Venture Capital (BVC), and we were selected as one of 16 startups, out of more than 75 that applied, for cohort #16 of its fundraising program, Startup Boost Lab.
Key takeaways
- B Venture Capital is backing Asterisko as we build the operating layer for preconstruction buyer operations.
- Asterisko was one of 16 startups selected from more than 75 applicants for Startup Boost Lab, cohort #16.
- BVC describes Asterisko.ai as an "AI agent OS for real estate developers automating sales and ops."
- The product direction does not change: Asterisko coordinates documents, payments, status updates, and closing readiness on top of the CRM and ERP a developer already uses.
Who is backing us
B Venture Capital is a venture fund that invests in early-stage startups in Latin America, at the pre-seed and seed stages. It looks for high-potential entrepreneurs, scalable business models, and diverse teams, and it backs companies across fintech, AI, and other technology sectors.
Having a fund with that regional focus behind us matters because preconstruction real estate is a cross-border business. Developers sell units to buyers in many countries, and the operational work after the sale, collecting documents, following up on payments, answering status questions, and preparing for closing, is where deals slow down.
What Startup Boost Lab is
Startup Boost Lab is the academic fundraising program of B Venture Capital, built around investment readiness: helping startups master due diligence and negotiate with confidence when they raise capital. More than 75 startups applied for this cohort, and 16 were selected. We are glad to be one of them.

What this means for Asterisko
Our focus stays where it has been: helping preconstruction developers keep buyers moving without replacing the systems their teams already run, which is the work covered by our buyer servicing workflow. If you want the background on what we mean by buyer operations, start with what buyer operations is in preconstruction or the buyer operations checklist.
