There are two. The day in 2009 when we landed our first major client after devoting significant hours and capital to our concept and model. The feeling was gratifying and euphoric.

Many industry experts suggested that education refinance was a limited horizon product that the could not be originated in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Simply put, we were right!
