Thanks for informing us...if no one mentioned when he posted I would always be a good month behind..

What I found most interesting was his following statement:

"Refunding loans is not something we intend to continue as a long term policy!"

Immediately I wondered if he was referring to an actual policy change, forcing the lender to truly absorb 100% of the risk, or if it was more of a symbolic sort of gesture that referred to diminishing the occurrences where refunds are necessary.

"Deepen lender engagement."  Sounds like improving write ups?  Would be interesting to see if they actually make any personal based additions to the entrepreneur pages.

Its also very interesting how they define this point in their young history..."go big or go home"...now!  Sounds a little nerve-wracking, and who wouldnt be neverous...they are planning on leaving their beginnings in the dust...should be exciting to be a part of and I have no doubt they will be successful...there are just too many people assisting them and rooting for them for it not to go well.
