The Ivy Family Office Network (IVYFON) originated from an ambitious vision by a group of Wharton alumni. Their goal was to create a network comparable to Ivy League standards, harnessing the strengths of such esteemed academic backgrounds while overcoming their traditional limitations. This initiative was led by Marty Secada, a distinguished Wharton alumnus with a notable history of fostering investment and marketing initiatives within the Wharton community in New York City.

Mr. Secada's previous ventures include the successful launch of the Wharton Investor Network, a collective of East Coast Wharton alumni engaged in private equity and direct investments, as well as the Wharton Angel Network. Initially branded as IVYPLUS, the group incorporated hedge funds and other key financial entities, rapidly growing to become the preeminent hedge fund networking group in both New York City and the East Coast.

Evolving into what is now known as IVYFON, the Ivy Family Office Network has sustained its prominence over the years. IVYFON stands out for its:

• Diverse roster of leading subject matter experts who provide comprehensive insights on a wide array of economic and investment topics.

• Pioneering role in initiating discussions on a variety of groundbreaking themes, including Hedge Funds, Peer-to-Peer Lending, Single Family Home Ownership Funds, Cryptocurrency, Gaming and Media Investments, Sports Franchise Investments, and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) Investment and Factoring.
