REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT PLATFORM, FUND THAT FLIP TO REBRAND AS UPRIGHT

New identity reflects expanded service offering and follows the acquisition of FlipperForce software company

CLEVELAND, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Fund That Flip, a leading platform for real estate investors, today announces its intention to rebrand as Upright.

The move follows the 2022 acquisition of FlipperForce, the web-based software platform for redevelopers and builders, which will now be fully integrated within the Upright platform, and is intended to more accurately reflect the expanding scope of the business.

Upright founder and CEO, Matt Rodak says: "Our old name served us very well for a long time, but we are building the most comprehensive platform for active and passive real estate investors alike. So while the starting point for that was helping developers secure funding for their projects, today we offer our clients so many more tools to remove the friction felt at every stage of the process from finding investment properties, financing, construction and management, and through to disposition. And we are just getting started."

The new identity speaks to how real estate investment provides a route for many thousands of individuals to build wealth and ultimately achieve financial freedom while improving the communities in which they live. The Upright name also acknowledges the tangible aspects of building homes from the ground up. 

Rodak continues: "The United States has a well-documented housing supply problem, which keeps prices high and makes it difficult for many to get on the property ladder. We are focused on making it easier for redevelopers and builders to help solve that. Each development becomes a new home for someone, adding to the vibrancy of its neighborhood, and at the same time generating a return for those investing in it."

The new identity will be effective from September 6th, 2023.
