About Chuck

From NYC Real Estate
to AI-First Builder

I'm Charles Botensten — founder of BPI (Botensten Properties International), NYC's residential real estate agency I built from the ground up in 2014. After a decade in real estate, I'm now fully focused on building AI-first tools and communities.

iCharles is my community for founders, builders, and creators who want to build in public. I share everything — the wins, the failures, the tools, the systems. No filters.
