I was able to find some information on several public linked in pages.
From the public profile of Robert Gloer President and CEO at Zing Funding LLC:
Zing Funding LLC D/B/A ZingFunding.com is a Peer to Peer or Social Lending Firm based in the Atlanta GA area. Zing will be launched live at www.ZingFunding.com in October 2008. Investors can lend capital to individual consumers via the internet – consumers can borrow from individual investors. The process allows investors to make a greater ROI than they can typically get from banks and consumers get typically lower rates than they could get from a bank for an unsecured loan or credit card. Zing Funding does all credit due diligence on the consumer and provides the investor a ZingAdvantageScore which will be a far greater credit profiling tool than the traditional FICO score alone. Keep an eye on it – it’s going to be big…… We will be creating the same great culture we had at First Franklin…..
