Building American Credit Score, From Canada, So You Start Up a Startup

by Larry Chiang on September 13, 2014

Toronto ONTARIO (aka CANADA
By Larry Chiang
Toronto International Film Festival was this past week and awesome.
The events, afterparties, screenings and facility were amazing. So, here was my value add:

Larry Chiang (@LarryChiang)
My album ‘Toronto Film Festival!!’ has info about building USA credit score from effen Waterloo / U of T #TIFF14 facebook.com/photo.php?fbid…

Problem: Canadians who are interested in doing a Silicon Valley startup don’t have a USA FICO score for credit.

Solution: Get a high FICO. So you can self fund
Note: my tone might be smug but I think of myself as a rapper. Spitting lyrics as an engineer who’s frustrated at talking w people who can’t code 😉
Solution: Get a high FICO from effen Vancouver. It’s next to Toronto right??
1- Get a PayPal account connected to a USA savings account that has $20.oo. #NoSocialSecurityNumberRequired
-2- Get a USA cell and pre-pay your post paid.
-3- Sell 2-5 things on eBay and use a Incubator accelerator address as your shipping from address.
REMEMBER the eBay arbitrage article where you don’t sell anything you warehouse. You buy it after you sell it so who cares where your eBay shipper address is
Or text me and you can use one of my 11 Gua Gua Guacamole pits (aka business accelerator-incubator)
Get an Amex card.
Problem: most people can’t get an Amex.
SOLUTION: get 
– get Amex “Choice”
– get a stack of 31 envelopes with 31 USA postage stamps called FOREVER
– get a Target gift card and load up $50
– spend $50 and reload $50 for 12 months. Spend 50 and reload 50 at Target. 
– Get a $300 pre-pay Bank of America Visa card by doing it in person in the SF Bay Area at 530 Lytton, Palo Alto CALIF
– Load $300
#NoSocialSecRequired
– Spend $20 per month
Back to POINT NUMBER ONE.
NOW LOAD UP YOUR PAYPAL BUTTON ON YOUR SITE AND SELL $2k PER MONTH
