About Us
Revolutionizing Real Estate Investing
Gatsby Investment combines technology with human expertise, to make real estate investing easier and more profitable for individual investors and fund companies than ever before.
Our model provides the same benefits as traditional real estate investing, with the added advantage of completely passive returns.
Who We Are: Our Story
Based in Los Angeles, our team of real estate professionals, software engineers, and business innovators work hard to make rare deals accessible to investors via our investment platform.
Many investors want to take advantage of real estate investing. But not everyone has the time, knowledge, industry connections, or desire to complete extensive value-add construction work or build new developments from the ground up to maximize returns. That’s where Gatsby Investment comes in.
Established in 2016 by experienced businessman Dan Gatsby, Gatsby Investment offers rare real estate projects with high profitability potential to everyday investors who wish to own a share of the deal. The unique investment opportunities we create would traditionally be out of reach for most investors, but through our innovative investment model and high-performance technology platform, any accredited investor can now access these exclusive deals!
Thanks to our software automation and tech specialists, we have the systems in place to handle deals in volume. This allows us to efficiently run with low overhead costs to deliver higher returns to investors.
Our experienced and skilled team oversees every aspect of every project. We partner with established developers, operators, and general contractors across the country to bring investors the best possible deals. We handle the funding process, establish the ownership LLC, secure the loan, purchase the property, supervise the architects and builders, and take care of the sale or ongoing management of the asset. We manage all the financials in a transparent manner, including loan draws, cost verifications, vendor payments, 1099 and K-1 tax forms, and investor distributions. We provide a stable legal ownership structure and give regular updates to investors throughout the process.

Dan Gatsby
Founder & CEO
Dan Gatsby, a seasoned businessman with over 30 years of experience in software development and business innovation, founded Gatsby Investment in 2016. His vision was to democratize rare real estate investment opportunities, making them accessible to individual investors across the United States and simplifying real estate investment akin to stock investing.
Before the inception of Gatsby Investment, Dan's journey began in 2001 when he opened a small printing shop in Culver City. Over the course of 15 years, his entrepreneurial acumen propelled the business into the country's second-largest wholesale printer, boasting over 500 employees and annual revenues exceeding $75 million. Dan's groundbreaking innovation in the printing industry involved pioneering software for online orders of complex print jobs, revolutionizing a process that had previously required extensive conversations. This pioneering eCommerce system allowed customers nationwide to place intricate print orders quickly, easily, and affordably.
Following the sale of his printing company, Dan redirected the proceeds into real estate, assembling an extensive portfolio. He assembled a top-tier team of industry professionals and invested a significant portion of his wealth in various real estate ventures, gaining experience in diverse real estate sectors such as house flipping, luxury homes, multi-family rentals, vacation rentals, ground-up developments, and raw land. Recognizing the opportunity presented by the JOBS Act in 2012, Dan harnessed his software development skills and business expertise to create the Gatsby Investment platform we know today, bridging the gap between complex real estate investments and individual investors.
