In July 2020, while most of real estate was still guarding 5–6% commissions like they were constitutional amendments, Beycome showed up in Miami asking an uncomfortable question. If technology can automate finance, logistics, and global commerce, why does selling a home still feel like paying a cover charge to your own equity? Nico Jodin, Philippe Kalifa, Herve Barbera, and Cyrille Carbonnier didn’t pitch rebellion. They built an alternative and let the math do the talking.
They bootstrapped for 3 years, reached profitability, and scaled quietly while others chased headlines. By the time outside capital entered the chat, Beycome was already closing one home every 40 minutes. Nearly 20K transactions completed. Over 17.8K closings processed through Beycome Title alone. Momentum earned, not manufactured.
That track record just converted into a $2.5M seed round led by InsurTech Fund, joined by Pivot Ventures, Florida Opportunity Fund, RedShift Capital, Neer Venture Capital, Kima Ventures, Ignite Venture, Founders Future, and a tight circle of strategic angels. David Gritz didn’t bet on a slide deck. He backed Artur, Beycome’s AI system already operating in the wild, moving real transactions, not running lab experiments.
Artur doesn’t try to sound human. It tries to eliminate friction. Pricing analysis, exposure optimization, offer management, contract generation, closing timelines, title coordination, buyer credit logic. Roughly 90% of the transaction stack automated, with humans stepping in where judgment still matters. Sellers close faster. Buyers get clarity instead of chaos. Fewer handoffs, fewer fees, fewer excuses.
The pricing lands clean. Flat fees, not percentages. $99–$999 to list. $99–$199 for title. No commission gravity pulling equity out of deals. The outcome is more than $215M kept in consumer pockets so far, with avg savings ranging from ~$11.7K to $23K per transaction depending on market and structure. That is not ideology. That is arithmetic.
Beycome now operates across 14 states, syndicating listings to 1K+ platforms and pushing north of 150M monthly impressions. Licensed brokerage infrastructure. MLS compliance across 600+ systems. Florida-based title operations built on decades of experience, not shortcuts. A lean team running a wide footprint, which is usually a signal that the system is doing the heavy lifting.
This capital accelerates product velocity, deepens Artur’s intelligence, expands title coverage, and pushes toward national scale in markets where affordability pressure is not theoretical. Beycome is not here to replace agents or cosplay disruption. It prices transparency honestly, automates the obvious, and lets homeowners keep more of what they already earned. Markets tend to listen when incentives finally make sense.
