Business Operations
Valon is building the AI-native operating system for regulated finance, starting with mortgage servicing.
We're a Series C company backed by a16z, transforming industries that others have written off as too complex to innovate.
Rather than build on top of broken legacy systems, we took a different approach: we built and operate our own mortgage servicing business managing $110+ billion in loans. This wasn't the end goal, it was how we deeply understood the complexity needed to build software that actually works in regulated industries.
The results speak for themselves. We've transformed mortgage servicing from a 0% margin business into 60%+ margins while dramatically improving customer experience. Major enterprise contracts are now deploying across the industry.
ValonOS is our unified platform that makes every process structured and programmable and it is perfectly positioned for the AI era. When everything flows through one system with rich data, AI agents don't just automate tasks, they continuously improve entire operations. Mortgage servicing is just the beginning of our vision to transform regulated industries and beyond.
The Product Strategist team comprises mortgage industry veterans who combine deep industry knowledge with intimate familiarity with Valon’s proprietary SaaS platform to deliver success for our end customers. We act as the bridge between our customers and Valon’s R&D teams, ensuring seamless adoption of our software within the customer’s servicing operations. The Product Strategist team is key to translating our product into real-world impact – bridging complex operational needs with Valon’s best-in-class servicing system.
