Matt Rodak – CEO and Founder of Upright, formerly Fund that Flip

In this episode, we talk with Matt Rodak, CEO and Founder of Upright.  Upright, formerly Fund that Flip, is a technology platform used to invest in and obtain loans for renovating residential real estate.  Matt was born and raised in Northeast Ohio and it's where he discovered his passion for real estate investing.  Despite living somewhere else now, we talk about his still strong connection to Cleveland, leaving his career path to start a business, and why sleep is classified as a hobby.  Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy this episode with Matt Rodak.
