Build real credit history for student construction apps without traditional loans.
Student entrepreneurs building construction apps for campus projects can't secure loans due to no credit history and face supplier skepticism, halting their business progress.
CampusCred creates verifiable credit scores by tracking project milestones, micro-payments to campus suppliers, and peer endorsements on verified campus projects. Students upload project docs for instant credit simulation and reports shareable with lenders. Over time, on-platform transactions build a portable credit profile accepted by banks and suppliers.
