[Specifically, (#LCMCC), Larry Chiang Mini Company Concept. It was experimental in 2010, so I didn&#8217;t want to sully my mentor, Mark McCormack]<\/p>\n<p>INDUSTRY PROBLEM: third party credit data verification is broken.<\/p>\n<p>Experian is hawking, (trans union product pun intended:-), and selling Third Party Verification of mailing addresses. TPV isn&#8217;t available for cellphone or email.<\/p>\n<p>Yet.<\/p>\n<p>Let me repeat, third party data verification doesn&#8217;t let me credit screen whether the credit applicant is using a Google voice number. Third party credit data verification does not check email address age as it pertains to credit quality and connection to social networks.<\/p>\n<p>To Clarium-ly clarify (lol, my Peter Thiel reference!), doing third party verification of an email address, H-E-L-P-S. It helps that the email address collected on your credit application tells your underwriters if the email address was created yesterday. Or if the email address the credit card applicant submitted is tied to &#8211; their<br \/>\n&#8211; Amazon account<br \/>\n&#8211; Netflix account.<br \/>\n&#8211; Facebook.<br \/>\n&#8211; LinkedIn<br \/>\n&#8211; Rapportive.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: for PayPal, I stemmed the email address fraud by tying a credit card number to each email address. I did this as a contractor &#8220;UCMS&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I was an early advocate of third party data verification and financially benefitted from &#8220;thin file analysis&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Page 7!!!: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucms.com\/World_Bank_2004_Beijing.ppt\">https:\/\/www.ucms.com\/World_Bank_2004_Beijing.ppt<\/a> So thin credit file analysis takes a small credit report data set and goes to third parties. For example, if a person has little credit history, what cellphone subscription is the cell network on. Verizon is very different from Net 10 wireless from a credit quality standpoint. AT&amp;T friends-and-family account #3 of 5 is a very different credit risk from a Google voice number or VPN or Twilio block number Trans Union, Equifax, and Experian are all in the dark ages because they operate under the legal guise of 1970s based laws. Aka FCRA, Fair Credit Reporting Act. If you&#8217;re a Stanford (undergrad) engineer, do an LCMCC. Help banks and credit unions and auto finance companies better optimize credit scoring, by starting up a mini company. It&#8217;d do third party verification. <a href=\"https:\/\/superhappydevhouse.org\/w\/page\/16345553\/Larry%20Chiang%20at%20Duck9%20dot%20com\">https:\/\/superhappydevhouse.org\/w\/page\/16345553\/Larry%20Chiang%20at%20Duck9%20dot%20com<\/a><br \/>\n9:59 video sums up 14 chapters of a book coming out 11-11-2019 &#8220;What They Will NEVER Teach You at Stanford Business School&#8221;<br \/>\n<embed src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/ejeIz4EhoJ0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><br \/>\nFashion Week&#8217;s front row<br \/>\n<embed src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QXIaNZi3mHQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><br \/>\nWhat A Super Model Can Teach a Harvard MBA About Credit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/larrychiang\/what-a-super-model-can-teach-a-harvard-mba-about-credit\">https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/larrychiang\/what-a-super-model-can-teach-a-harvard-mba-about-credit<\/a> American Express hosts me mentoring you about FICO scores at New York Fashion Week <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/inxTmZAj\">https:\/\/t.co\/inxTmZAj<\/a><br \/>\nMy Stanford Engineering video boils down 20,000 hours and moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve <embed src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/eudADPfTWiE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><br \/>\nCEO of Duck9 MIT University Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) Duck9 = &#8220;Deep Underground Credit Knowledge&#8221; 9 125 University Avenue\/ 100 Palo Alto CA 94301 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/ass\">https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/ass<\/a> 650-566-9600 650-566-9696 (direct) 650-283-8008 (cell) **************** Editor of the BusinessWeek Channel &#8220;What They Don&#8217;t Teach at Business School&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\">https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog<\/a> CNN Video Channel: <a href=\"https:\/\/ireport.cnn.com\/people\/larrychiang\">https:\/\/ireport.cnn.com\/people\/larrychiang<\/a> Read my last 10 tweets at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang\">https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang<\/a> Author, NY Times Bestseller <a href=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\/?s=Ny+times+bestseller\">https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\/?s=Ny+times+bestseller<\/a> &#8220;What They Will NEVER Teach You at Stanford Business School&#8221; comes out 11-11-14 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/embed\/c0d4562ea2049\">https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/embed\/c0d4562ea2049<\/a> 52 Cards.
