Equifax partnered with Kiddie Kredit, recognizing its innovative approach to teaching children the importance of credit history and financial health. This partnership aligned with Equifax's mission to promote financial inclusion and equity.

"Kiddie Kredit focuses on what kids do every day—chores—and connects that to credit scores. Good habits with chores translate into good credit behaviors," said Bev Anderson, former President of Global Consumer Solutions at Equifax.

We secured $1.4 million in pre-seed funding from investors, including Nueterra Capital, Plain Sight Capital, Fuerza Ventures, Goodlight Capital, and prominent angel investors like Dwyane Wade and Baron Davis.

This funding fueled R&D efforts, allowing us to refine our approach to proactive financial behavior change, particularly in credit education.

Kiddie Kredit won 43North, the world's largest startup pitch competition, securing a $1M investment. As a result, our headquarters moved to Buffalo, NY, positioning us for expansion.

The funding enabled us to broaden our financial education solutions, reaching Gen Alpha and beyond with engaging age-appropriate content.

To expand our impact, we rebranded as Kredit Academy, launching a suite of financial wellness products designed to help organizations engage and educate their audiences on credit and financial literacy.

With new partnerships with financial institutions and credit card providers, Kredit Academy is set to revolutionize financial education. Stay tuned for what's next!
