Fast-Growing Fintech Company Commits to Northeast Ohio
Fund That Flip, a technology, real estate and financial services company dedicated to providing real estate developers with new sources of capital and software, has announced plans to expand their operations in Northeast Ohio. In 2017, the company opened a second office Cleveland, which currently employs 31 team members. Fund That Flip plans to increase their headcount significantly by adding more than 120 new hires.
The company was ranked as no. 42 on Inc. Magazine’s list of 500 fastest-growing private companies in America and will broaden their product offering and technology-drive solutions with the expansion.
Fund That Flip CEO, Matt Rodak, a John Carroll University alumnus, cited the business-friendly environment and talented workforce in Northeast Ohio as key decision-making factors for selecting Cleveland.
“In opening the Cleveland office, our goal was to leverage the first-rate talent pool, productive mindset, and Midwestern grit that set Northeast Ohio apart,” said Matt Rodak. “Fund That Flip’s exponential growth is directly linked to building an award-winning team in Cleveland. We look forward to further growing our operations and helping revitalize the local economy and communities.”
Ohio’s support for the company is the first critical step to secure the expansion opportunity in the Cleveland area. A team of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, JobsOhio and Team NEO continues its collaboration to ensure the company furthers its expansion here.
“We appreciate the confidence that Fund that Flip has in the Greater Cleveland market,” stated Joe Roman, President & CEO of the Greater Cleveland Partnership. “GCP remains committed to the company’s long-term success and looks forward to supporting the company going forward.”
“Fund That Flip’s decision to make such a significant investment in Northeast Ohio’s workforce is a testament to the emerging fintech industry here,” added Team NEO CEO Bill Koehler. “We are delighted to work with JobsOhio and the Greater Cleveland Partnership as Fund That Flip continues to grow and prosper here.”
