Democratize Access To Credit

Together we’ll dismantle barriers to housing for working families and use data to eliminate the racial wealth gap. The ability to build credit from rental payments has the potential to give over 45 million renters with little to no credit a pathway into the financial system. Those individuals then stand to save over $200,000 in reduced lifetime interest payments, build home equity by qualifying for mortgages, and build wealth by passing job screening requirements. The transformational impact of this cannot be understated.

Engineering Team

We are building a team of changemakers. It is not enough to have the intention to do good - Esusu engineers translate intent into action. We believe that accomplishing our ambitious goals cannot be done by lone heroes. Lasting change requires work by synergistic teams, and we look for Engineers who are highly skilled at collaboration.
