    Esusu was founded in 2018 with the premise that no matter where you come from, the color of your skin, or your financial identity should never determine where you end up in life. In the United States, credit is fundamental to financial stability, access to housing, and upward mobility. Unfortunately, the current system leaves millions behind who are credit invisible, thin-file, or otherwise credit-challenged precluding them from accessing quality financial products. Esusu’s platform enables renters to build financial identity, reach financial stability, and ultimately move towards wealth creation. Esusu has raised capital with top-tier impact and venture investors, including Softbank Vision Fund, Motley Fool Ventures, Concrete Rose Capital, Equity Alliance, Impact America Fund, Next Play Ventures, Serena Ventures, Sinai Ventures, Type One Ventures, Related Companies, and Wilshire Lane Capital.
