Alptekin Can is an entrepreneur and the CEO of Car Check, with more than a decade of experience building companies and digital products. His work brings together business strategy, product development and commercial execution, from identifying a customer need to bringing a product to market. At Car Check, he applies this background to vehicle history products and the used car buying process.

He previously co-founded Reload, Clay and Focuses. Clay was acquired by Plexagon, while Focuses was acquired by Publishers. Across these ventures, he has worked through company formation, team building, product launches and growth, gaining firsthand experience of the decisions involved in running a business.

His approach combines strategic thinking with practical product work. He prioritises clear positioning, sustainable revenue, focused execution and attention to the details that shape customer trust. He continues to develop products independently, keeping business decisions close to the experience of the people using them.

His automotive experience is centred on developing Car Check. His work includes shaping vehicle search and reporting workflows, organising vehicle identity, MOT and mileage records, and making available provenance findings easier for buyers to understand. He connects automotive data with the practical steps involved in researching and comparing used cars.

He focuses on the questions that come up before a purchase: whether records match the vehicle, how mileage changes over time and which finance, theft or write off findings need supporting evidence. His approach keeps source dates, missing information, seller documents and the vehicle’s current condition in view, helping buyers prepare better questions and recognise the limits of a history report.
