Company mission
Esusu's mission is to dismantle barriers to housing for working families.
Our take
The majority of US renters do not receive credit for paying their rent on time, contributing to the lack of credit scores among financially marginalised groups and making them easy prey for predatory lenders. Esusu is a financial platform leveraging data solutions, focused on empowering immigrant and minority groups to build and establish their credit scores.
Without access to building credit, people are vulnerable to financial insecurity, which is what Esusu sets out to combat. As well as helping these people build credit, the company also helps property owners mitigate against initiating evictions through the use of data and insights, reducing the chance of their renters becoming homeless.
Through multiple funding rounds, raising capital from some of the world's most notable investors, Esusu has grown to reach Unicorn status. With plans to prioritise scaling its team, the company has proven itself a leader in its industry and is making a significant positive impact on the lives of many Americans.
