A Financial Boost For Your Future - Kikoff

Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in finance but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Cynthia Chen, Co-Founder & CEO of Kikoff, located in San Francisco, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Kikoff is a personal finance platform that offers the simplest credit-building solution out there: $0 fees, 0% interest, and no credit pull. Your credit score is the foundation of your financial health – yet most people don't have the credit score they deserve. That's why Kikoff built the most accessible and affordable credit-building solution – it's also the fastest-growing and top-rated credit-building mobile app. Kikoff works whether you're new to credit or looking for an extra boost.

Tell us about yourself

This is my fourth startup company. I spent almost two decades working in consumer finance and understand how difficult life is without good credit. 1 out of 3 Americans has a credit score below 600. I wanted to help them build credit and achieve their financial goals. That is why I started Kikoff.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Helping over 1 million Americans build credit.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

As a mother of two young kids, it is hard to balance work and life.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Have a compelling story to inspire your team.
  2. Talk to customers as often as possible.
  3. Spend money prudently.
