a16z General Partner Angela Strange sits down with Valon’s Andrew Wang and Linda Du to unpack what it takes to rebuild the infrastructure underneath a $13 trillion mortgage market that still relies heavily on systems designed before the internet.Linda and Andrew explain why Valon chose the hardest path: becoming a regulated mortgage servicer, translating decades of federal and state regulation into software, and proving the platform on its own loans before selling it to the industry. That foundation made Valon roughly three times as efficient as traditional servicing and created the system of record it is now using to bring AI into complex mortgage workflows. They also discuss what AI makes possible on top of that infrastructure, from agents handling long-tail servicing tasks to voice interfaces and more personalized customer experiences. And they explain why deploying the technology into large regulated enterprises is ultimately as much a change-management challenge as a technical one.&nbsp;Resources:Follow Angela Strange: <a href="https://x.com/astrange" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/astrange</a>Follow Andrew Wang: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/wangandrewd" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/wangandrewd</a>Follow Linda Du: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/xlindadu/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/xlindadu/</a>Learn more about Valon:<a href="https://valon.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://valon.com</a>
