Bio
I'm Henry MacLane, a 14 entrepreneur from Connecticut who started my first business at 7, It was sold in five stores and featured in over ten magazines. Now, I’m working on Ahead, a teen banking app that allows teens to establish a credit report via a co-signed credit card with a parent. Unlike other apps, we report transactions from the teens card (which acts like a debit card) as on-time payments to credit bureaus. So each time a teen makes a purchase, they are building their credit report. Parents also have full control over teens budgeting, limits, balance, allowance, and much more.
