A long time ago I worked in #Apple HQ’s retail org, which oversees everything about the stores. From my 6 years at Apple, this unexpected lesson on branding has stuck with me the most.

A peek under the mothership hood 👇

Loan Factory is one of the largest mortgage brokers in the U.S.

They’re scaling autonomous mortgages on our rails, and expect to 6x loan officer production across core origination flows.

We’re proud to be partnering with them to deliver the best rates in the market.

[Trent Hedge @trenthedge]

We built Pylon to automate the mortgage factory so it’s fitting that the first mega broker to go live is Loan Factory. They also originate $5 billion/year.

@SievaKozinsky If you have a great cash flowing business you’re better off holding it and investing the cash flow to expand or acquire more cash flowing businesses. Compounding will create more wealth than selling

@amandaorson @sarthakgh @anothercohen I’d guess it’s more of a visual medium interest gap. People on IG/TT who aren’t already on Twitter are more interested in images/video. Unlikely Threads will reveal a hidden preference for text in a population large enough to make it successful

@moseskagan Can a landlord charge 1.5x normal monthly amount in M1 of lease, 0.5x in M12 (or even M2), and set the security deposit equal to first month’s rent? Total annual rent is unchanged and you can flex the structure to charge whatever you want for the security deposit

@Kevin_Raposo Setup wasn’t too bad. Doing it during the busy workday forces you to get comfortable with it fast!

@BraytonKey .@geoff_byron and I were the first kids in school with a CD burner. they weren't standard yet so we had to install it ourselves. napster + high speed internet were just taking off. we bought blank CDs for $1 and sold burned CDs for $5. cleaned up! 🤑

@DellyB2B The tech bros were within a block and a half of the Brixton. Probably heading there or to Palm House

[Brett Byron @brett_byron]

At SF dog park. Early 30s finance bro yelling into his phone:
“We’re up against Goldman and Morgan Stanley.. we really need to win this IPO.”

Walking home 5 minutes later. Early 20s tech bros at corner:
“Who’s leading, Greyscale?” “No, Greylock.”

San Francisco is healing
