build_ session: Cell Phone App and GPS Pioneers
From mobile hacking to patent wars.
From real estate tech pioneers to reinventing homeownership.
The Blumberg brothers have done it all.
They co-founded Smarter Agent, a proptech company so ahead of its time that they had to rewrite the rules and file the patents to make it work. They powered mobile for 300+ real estate giants like Keller Williams, Sotheby’s, and Berkshire Hathaway. Their tech reshaped an entire industry and eventually led to a major acquisition.
Now, they’re building again — this time with AsterKey, a smart digital vault for homeowners to track maintenance, upgrades, documents, and more. Think of it as the operating system for your home.
This is a session about resilience, invention, and the long game. We’ll cover:
• Hacking hardware before it was cool
• Winning (and surviving) patent battles
• Navigating exits and staying builders
• What’s next for AI, real estate, and connected living
🧠 Raw. Real. You ask the questions.
This is not a panel. It’s not a webinar.
It’s part masterclass, part campfire — and a front-row seat to the mindset of legends.
