From big tech to “Zillow for investors”: how Proplytics is rethinking real estate decisions 🏠📊

On paper, Duy Tran was at the peak of his career. He was working long hours at big tech companies like Microsoft and Google, on track for promotions, well-compensated — and deeply unfulfilled. The moment he realized his “best moment on paper” was also his lowest point personally was the moment he knew he had to jump.

That jump became Proplytics.

In our latest Startup Sounds, Duy shares how he went from corporate engineering to building a decision layer for real estate investors in the U.S., helping them find high-yield properties in seconds instead of manually crunching numbers across Zillow and Excel.

We talk about:

  • Why investors still struggle to answer “Where should I invest next?” even with tons of tools
  • How Proplytics combines customizable models, market intelligence, and trustable numbers
  • What 200 transactions and tight broker partnerships taught him about retention and value
  • Doing things that don’t scale, obsessing over user behavior, and learning from every click

If you’re building tools for investors, thinking about leaving a big tech job, or just curious about how to turn a personal frustration into a startup, this conversation will resonate.
