Problem

Hospitality deal sourcing is fragmented, manual, and relationship-driven, particularly across the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA). Hotel ownership is often opaque, while companies pursuing growth may be forced to rely on thin intelligence, outdated relationships, incomplete contact lists, or boots on the ground. The resulting pain is wasted research and outreach, slower deal cycles, and missed expansion, partnership, acquisition, and supplier-sales opportunities. Bystreet’s clearest use case is helping a hotel brand, operator, supplier, or capital allocator entering CALA identify who owns a property, who actually makes decisions, and how to reach them.

Product / Service

Bystreet is an AI-enabled, B2B SaaS hotel-ownership intelligence platform. Its AI agents extract and verify information from public, government, and offline sources to create a structured identity graph linking hotel properties, ownership groups, and decision-makers. The platform provides a database spanning more than 16,000 CALA properties and 8,000 owners, with stated 70% contact-data coverage, plus advanced filters, property-level research, phone numbers, email addresses, LinkedIn profiles, and market insights such as competitor activity and development in a given market.

The benefit is to turn hospitality business development from ad hoc research into a repeatable, targeted workflow: users can build focused prospect lists, contact the right ownership-group representative, reduce wasted outreach, and uncover opportunities competitors may miss. The company sells access through a demo-led model and positions the product as an enablement layer for deal teams rather than merely a raw data file.

Market

Bystreet competes in the intersection of vertical SaaS, hotel IT, proptech, hospitality market intelligence, and deal-sourcing data. Its closest substitutes are established hotel-intelligence providers and manual or generic sales-intelligence workflows. Adjacent competitors include CoStar with STR Benchmark, which offers property- and portfolio-level hotel intelligence; Lodging Econometrics, which provides global hotel intelligence and decision-maker contacts; and HotelMarketData, which markets hotel project leads and ownership or management data. Bystreet’s differentiation is its ownership-first identity graph, actionable contacts, AI-assisted research, and geographic specialization in the harder-to-navigate CALA market.

The company appears to be an early-stage but active venture-backed startup rather than a mature scaled vendor. Y Combinator lists it as a Winter 2025, active B2B SaaS proptech company founded in 2024 with a four-person team, while Bystreet’s site says it is backed by Y Combinator and Script Capital and reports coverage of 16,000-plus properties, 8,000-plus owners, and 70% contact-data coverage. The company says its platform is trusted by development teams at hotel brands, operators, and suppliers, but the available evidence does not disclose named customers, pricing, revenue, or paid-user counts, so commercial traction is not publicly quantified and it cannot be confidently classified as either revenue-generating or pre-revenue.
