Our People

SOON TO BECOME YOUR PEOPLE

We work relentlessly to make sure our customers’ lending experience is nothing shy of outstanding. Brought together by Philadelphia, a couple of beers, and a passion to do the impossible the iFC team was formed. Supportive of one another, the iFC team members are the type of people you want to be around—they inspire, motivate, and enjoy the company of their clients and partners. Building strong relationships and impactful lending practices while enjoying the entrepreneurial grind are the core values that drive the iFC team.

LEADERSHIP

i Fund Cities has assembled an experienced team with a diversified composition of core talents.

RYAN HERTING

Ryan Herting, Founder & Chief Experience Officer

Ryan is a serial entrepreneur who has a history of successfully helping startups transform their sales teams to deliver beyond expectations. Driven by a passion to be the best at everything he does AND always dressed to impress in a backwards trucker hat, Ryan is operating at his highest potential when in front of his clients, challenging modern day assumptions.

“I’ve been leading since I was young, competing in athletics. I started i Fund Cities as an entrepreneur looking for an opportunity to grow personally and within business. Since its inception, the growth has been transformational and now we are on a mission to make a huge impact for investors.”

A product of Temple University and Drexel’s LeBow Business School, Ryan’s career traces through financial services and healthcare before “jumping off a cliff” to pursue his passion of entrepreneurship.
