is spacex a space company? I thought they were an internet provider that wants to use their strategic advantages to get into AI including AI infra like data centers.

I (Jake) joined in February and love the people, the mission, and the challenges of the market. Mortgage servicing is one of those remaining businesses that hasn't been disrupted by software yet; Valon is (finally) the first to build new end-to-end software.
Valon’s mission is to champion homeowners as the partner they trust with their home and future. Our ultimate goal is to guide homeowners through every step of their financial journey, no matter what life puts on their path. Mortgage servicing is a a-cyclical business and gets paid a recurring revenue based on mortgage loans outstanding (which doesn't really change even when mortgage originations slow). Our revenue grew to $30 million in 2023 as we 5x'd our loan count.
Roles and Teams (50+ engineers): Senior SWE for Money Movement Product teams, Platform and Senior Product Managers!

He worked his arse off for years and had a huge following before this album launched. This was his biggest song before The Heist was released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWhx-CtPmBU (story about addiction and his struggle to overcome it). When The Heist launched he emailed/tweeted/blogged his fans and got enough of a response to hit #1 on iTunes in <24 hrs. I saw him perform about 3 years ago in Bellingham, Washington so this overnight success story involved a lot of hard work to accomplish.
