Inc. magazine revealed Fund That Flip is No. 42 on its annual Inc. 5000 list. A ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Fund That Flip also ranks No. 4 of the fastest-growing real estate companies in the United States and No. 5 in New York.

Fintech Venture Fund, an Atlanta-based early-stage investor, led the company’s seed round in 2016.
Since then, the company has realized exponential growth, doubling its loan origination volume and customer base each year, and growing revenue by more than 6,018%. This month, Fund That Flip announced an $11 million raise from growth equity firm Edison Partners of Princeton, New Jersey.
Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, a tech accelerator based in New York, also participated in this round and has been supporting the company since 2015. Fund That Flip will use the additional capital to expand its market share of the growing residential real estate industry.
