In 2007, Anittah Patrick realized a major problem was going on in the United States AND all over the rest of the world:
People (especially young people) were taking on debt in the fo
rm of Credit Cards and Student Loans without really realizing what that meant. Then, when the bill arrived, they were stuck: they had these massive bills and had to find some way to scrape together the minimum payments. And while they were making the minimum payments, their interest rates were increasing, and they were falling further and further behind in debt.
This needed to change.
And that’s where the idea behind CreditCardio was born. Anittah knew she wanted to educate people on the importance of understanding debt before taking it on. But she didn’t know exactly how to do that.
Anittah pitched her idea along with 46 other Entrepreneurs. In a room full of designers, developers, and non-technical people, the idea really took and a team was formed.
In just 54 hours, CreditCardio was born!
