Get Fundable: Credit that opens doors

​Get Fundable: Credit That Opens Doors
with Dr. Saloam Bey, Founder & CEO, Credit Power LLC

​Fundable isn't luck. It's built.

​Most founders don't find out their credit is a problem until the moment they need the money. The loan gets denied, the terms come back at a rate that eats the margin, or the business ends up funded on maxed-out personal cards. None of that has to be your story.

​Dr. Saloam Bey has spent 20+ years inside the credit and banking industry as a credit analyst, in collections, and in consumer banking. She's a Pittsburgh native, a military veteran, and the founder of Credit Power LLC, where she's helped thousands of people and business owners understand how credit actually works and how to make it work for them.

​In this session, you'll learn:

• ​What lenders really look for when they decide yes or no

• ​The mistakes that get founders and small business owners denied

• ​How to build business credit without leaning on your personal cards

• ​What to do in the next 30 days to strengthen your position

​Whether you're starting, scaling, or getting ready to ask for capital, this hour sets you up before you need it.

​Stay after for the 2nd Annual $10K Startup Pitch Competition at 6:00 PM in the main corridor, along with the "Funding the Future: Access to Capital in Pittsburgh" panel.
