Denis Bellavance

Listen up, here’s the deal with Denis Bellavance. This guy’s the real deal in the tech startup world. He’s a YC alum from S20, which already says a lot, getting into YC is no joke, and he crushed it there with Inspectify. But his story’s way more than just that.

Denis’s been in the game for over 14 years, grinding in software dev. He’s worked at some big names like Amazon, Zillow, and Loftium, places where he learned how to build stuff that scales and actually works. At Amazon, he was a Software Development Engineer, so he knows how to write clean, robust code. Then he moved to Zillow, where he was a Senior Software Engineering Manager, leading teams to build products for millions of users. Later, he headed up engineering at Loftium, a company flipping the real estate script, so he’s got serious experience in real estate tech.

But Denis isn’t just about big companies. He’s an entrepreneur at heart. He founded Peach, a lunch delivery startup, think Uber Eats before Uber Eats was a thing. Managed all the tech and ops there, so he’s got hands-on experience running a startup from the ground up. That’s where he learned what it takes to build something from nothing and make it work in the real world.

His educational background? Pure nerdy gold, he’s got a degree in Computer Engineering, Robotics, and AI from Université de Sherbrooke. The dude’s brain is wired for tech innovation. And that’s exactly what he’s doing now with Inspectify. As CTO, he’s leading the charge to shake up home inspections with tech. No more bullshit, just simple, smart solutions, made to make life easier for homeowners and inspectors alike.

What’s crazy is, all of this tells a story about his motivation. Denis isn’t just in it for the tech clout. He’s been through the grind, seen the big wins and the failures, and that fuels him to build stuff that actually matters. His process screams passion for solving problems, scaling teams, and making tech that changes industries, whether it’s food delivery, real estate, or home inspections.

So, long story short, this guy’s a builder, a leader, and a problem solver. He’s been around the block, seen what works, and now he’s crushing it with Inspectify, making home inspections simple and accessible. The dude’s the real deal, and he’s only just getting started.
