DealCheck
👤 Anton Ivanov (Navy vet, software dev, and 40-unit landlord — he built for himself and was already trusted inside the niche he sold to.)🌐 siteLinkedIn
A developer who owned 40 rentals built the deal calculator he wished existed — then the RE community did the selling.

DealCheck — About: origin story, founded 2015, 350K+ usersDealCheck — About Anton Ivanov (founder, 40-unit investor)Tracxn — DealCheck: unfunded / bootstrapped, San DiegoRETipster 089 — Anton Ivanov interview (100K+ users, free + sub under $10/mo)Guy on FIRE — Anton built DealCheck for himself as a dev + investor
Revenue is EST, not disclosed. DealCheck has never published ARR; the "Est. $1-2M/yr" is our derivation from about 350K users x public $120-240/yr pricing at a conservative low-single-digit paid conversion — a guess, not a fact (not independently confirmed). Verified first-party: the 350K+ user count and 2015 San Diego founding (dealcheck.io), plus $0 outside funding (Tracxn). The "built it for himself as a 40-unit investor and developer" origin is from founder interviews (RETipster). The "credibility = distribution" reading is our interpretation, tagged as such. We never score you.
