Larry Chiang

edit

Larry is a founder of Duck9. He focuses all 88 of his self-reported IQ points into helping college students build their FICO.

He and his mentor hacked the Fair Isaac Co (FICO) credit scoring algorithm. To maximize credit score, tips are sent in fortune cookie sized text messages delivered monthly to a college students cell phone. He cut-and-pasted the technique of ‘second stage premiums’ where you give more pizza after the initial slice of pizza given out on campus.

He wrote the book, [What They Don’t Teach You At Stanford Business School] (http://www.whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com) and blogs at [Business Week] (http://www.whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com/business-week-larry-chiang.htm).
