What specific problem are you solving?
Creditt Bees is tackling the systemic barrier of poor credit and credit invisibility, which directly fuels the racial wealth gap and economic inequality. In the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex—our home base—54% of Black Americans and 41% of Hispanic Americans report poor or fair credit, compared to 37% of white Americans. These disparities limit access to housing, jobs, capital, and financial freedom, locking communities into cycles of poverty. Nationally and globally, credit invisibility is a silent crisis. Over 1.4 billion people lack access to formal financial systems. Many are trapped by poor credit or no credit history at all, stemming from systemic discrimination, limited financial literacy, and exploitative credit repair schemes that offer no real education or empowerment. Our solution addresses both root causes and symptoms. By combining curated financial education with AI-powered tools, Credit Repair in a Box equips individuals to understand, repair, build, and sustain strong credit profiles. We meet people where they are, provide actionable support, and help them unlock long-term economic opportunity. We’re not just repairing credit—we’re restoring dignity, expanding access, and helping people write new financial narratives.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Creditt Bees serves individuals from low- to moderate-income communities, particularly Black and Hispanic populations. These groups face significant financial barriers, often resulting in limited access to essential financial tools and services. Historically, systemic barriers, such as discriminatory lending practices, have limited access to fair financial opportunities, leaving many underserved communities without the tools to build financial security. For example, individuals with credit scores under 600 often cannot open basic checking or savings accounts, exposing them to higher fees at check-cashing services. Additionally, they frequently struggle to access credit or emergency funds, exacerbating financial instability during times of need. Our solution directly addresses these challenges through "Credit Repair In A Box", a comprehensive toolkit that equips individuals with the knowledge and resources to understand, repair, build, and maintain healthy credit. By offering personalized support, biweekly workshops, and access to credit monitoring, we empower participants to take control of their financial futures. This program aims to improve credit scores, enhance financial literacy, and open doors to better opportunities, such as securing affordable housing, obtaining loans, and achieving personal and professional goals. By breaking the cycle of financial instability, we help individuals create a foundation for long-term financial success.
