  47. Rao previously served as vice president of product management for mortgage origination technology provider Ellie Mae&#xae;. There, Rao pushed the &#8220;next generation&#8221; of mortgage technology, leading product strategy for the Encompass&#xae; loan origination platform and for Ellie Mae&#8217;s Developer Connect solution, a suite of APIs that enabled lenders and partners to securely share information. Though Rao took a career break following the $11 billion acquisition of Ellie Mae by Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) in 2020, he ultimately found the opportunity to help guide Dark Matter&#8217;s tech transformation too compelling to pass up.</p>
  48. <p>&#8220;Dark Matter&#8217;s pioneering advancements in automation and AI are reshaping the mortgage landscape,&#8221; Rao said. &#8220;I&#8217;m eager to apply my expertise to propel Dark Matter&#8217;s mission forward, pushing the boundaries of what&#8217;s possible in mortgage origination and amplifying our impact on the homebuying experience of lenders and consumers alike.&#8221;</p>
  49. <p>&#8220;Vikas has an impressive track record of success in driving digital innovation and API utilization in mortgage origination,&#8221; said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. &#8220;With his technical chops and effective leadership style, Vika will play a pivotal role in our mission to empower lenders through AI, automation and innovation.&#8221; </p>
  50. <p>Rao has over 15 years of experience in software engineering, product management and technology leadership spanning public and private companies within the mortgage industry and in Silicon Valley&#8217;s startup scene. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science and is a 2017 graduate of Stanford University&#8217;s Stanford Ignite executive education program. </p>

  79. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600.jpg" alt="Dark Matter Technologies and Monterra Credit Union" width="800" height="600" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60000" srcset="https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600.jpg 800w, https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600-700x525.jpg 700w, https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600-768x576.jpg 768w, https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600-100x75.jpg 100w, https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600-180x135.jpg 180w, https://floridanewswire.com/META/24-0507-s2p-darkmatter-monterra-800x600-238x178.jpg 238w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><br />
  80. One of California&#8217;s top 50 credit union lenders by mortgage loan volume, Monterra CU attributed its selection of the Empower LOS to the origination system&#8217;s self-service configurability, its robust integrations with best-in-class product and pricing engines (PPE) and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, and its support for the digital closings Monterra CU members increasingly prefer. In addition, the credit union expects to be able to close loans more quickly and process more loans per full-time employee with the help of the &#8220;lights-out&#8221; task automation that is native to the Empower LOS.</p>
  81. <p>&#8220;Through the integration of the Empower LOS, Monterra Credit Union is enhancing the mortgage experience for our members, increasing efficiency and priming ourselves for future growth,&#8221; stated Wade Painter, president and CEO of Monterra Credit Union. &#8220;Our team eagerly anticipates the array of new features and process improvements this partnership brings, underscoring the strong rapport we&#8217;ve cultivated with the Dark Matter team. We&#8217;re confident that Dark Matter is the right partner for us.&#8221;</p>
  82. <p>&#8220;It was clear from the outset that the mortgage team at Monterra Credit Union is serious about two things: elevating its members&#8217; mortgage experience and future-proofing its business,&#8221; said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. &#8220;With the Empower LOS, Monterra CU gains access to comprehensive automation and customization capabilities that align perfectly with this commitment to member-centricity and sustainable growth. We are honored to have earned Monterra&#8217;s business and look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration.&#8221;</p>

  199. &#8220;RMA has helped revitalize numerous cities and CRA districts throughout the state, and we are honored to now be working with the beautiful City of Sarasota,&#8221; said Adriane Esteban, RMA Senior Project Manager. &#8220;We see tremendous potential for economic advancement within Sarasota, while preserving its serene beauty and natural charm.&#8221;</p>
  200. <p>During the next few months, the RMA team will be conducting on-site assessments and reviewing economic and other data sets to fully understand the opportunities and obstacles present in the City&#8217;s retail, real estate, and economic climate. In addition, there will be a public involvement component where the Project Team will hold meetings with residents, business owners, and local economic development partners to understand perspectives on the City&#8217;s potential. These immersive experiences, along with RMA&#8217;s economic analysis tools, allow the team to develop an analysis that connects with and enhances a community&#8217;s innate identity and character, while balancing financial and market feasibility with economic vibrancy and regulatory efficiency. The project is expected to be completed by October.</p>
  201. <p>Located on Florida&#8217;s Gulf Coast, Sarasota is a world-class community and a prime tourism destination.

The study has multiple objectives focused on highlighting Sarasota&#8217;s competitive viability including identifying targeted industries, redevelopment opportunities, land availability, and workforce capability.</p>
  202. <p>For this project, RMA will be partnering with RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture firm and Daedulus Advisory Services, a firm that specializes in Public Private Partnerships and Infrastructure.</p>

  305. <p>&#8220;This partnership marks a significant milestone in the development of the Concordia Amazonas Initiative, and will see Concordia expand financing to nature-based projects focused on the Amazon rainforest,&#8221; commented President Duque. &#8220;Drawing on Concordia&#8217;s power of convening and the Fund for Nature&#8217;s climate investment expertise and impact-driven strategy, we look forward to ensuring the proactive deployment of solutions critical to protecting biodiversity.&#8221; </p>
  306. <p>Launched in 2022, the Concordia Amazonas Initiative holds high-level strategic convenings in the Amazon rainforest to identify and implement scalable and sustainable market-led, nature-based solutions that shape the future of the region.

The Fund for Nature, in collaboration with Concordia Amazonas, is committed to expanding access to capital for high-integrity carbon projects in the Amazon biome. </p>
  308. <p>&#8220;With only about 3% of global climate finance going towards nature-based solutions today, the Fund for Nature is addressing the massive funding gap for high-integrity projects in critical ecosystems globally,&#8221; said CrossBoundary&#8217;s Head of Natural Capital, Kate Wharton. &#8220;We are thrilled to partner with the Concordia Amazonas Initiative to expand our impact in the Amazon region, where there are exciting opportunities in which climate impact, biodiversity impact, and community impact go hand-in-hand.&#8221;</p>
  309. <p>Matthew Swift, Concordia&#8217;s Co-Founder, President &#038; CEO, said: &#8220;Across the Amazon rainforest, there is a lack of early-stage development capital to de-risk projects, enhance impact, and accelerate market development. Thanks to CrossBoundary Group, the Fund for Nature provides up-front finance for nature-based carbon projects in emerging and frontier markets. Their focus on ensuring equitable outcomes for all and working with local communities aligns closely with the approach of our Amazonas Initiative, and as such we&#8217;re thrilled to be acting as the conveners for their expansion in the region.&#8221;</p>
  310. <p>Given the unique nature of the Concordia Amazonas Summit, capacity is limited and participation is determined on a case-by-case basis. Partnership and sponsorship opportunities are available to foundations, committed corporations, and nonprofits to support and shape the program. To learn more, please email partnerships@concordia.net. </p>

  345. For real estate professionals, this collaboration focuses on providing a comprehensive education with expert training and testing processes that are both efficient and scalable. These processes will ensure an exceptional learning experience that leads to successfully passing the SAFE exam. By becoming dual-licensed, a real estate agent unlocks a multitude of opportunities to offer their clients mortgage services through the Realfinity platform. </p>
  346. <p>This new career-enhancing move has three main benefits for real estate agents: </p>
  347. <p>1. Provide a unified real estate experience to clients.   </p>
  348. <p>2. Earn additional commission on the transaction by providing their client with mortgage opportunities.  </p>
  349. <p>3. Reduce client expenses by eliminating extra lender-imposed customer acquisition costs paid by borrowers. </p>
  350. <p>&#8220;The partnership between Realfinity and OnCourse Learning represents a significant milestone in our mission to transform mortgages by providing the tools needed for real estate professionals to get their NMLS license,&#8221; said Luca Dahlhausen, CEO of Realfinity. &#8220;By combining our dual-licensed agent-centric origination platform with OnCourse&#8217;s educational capability, we are poised to offer an experience that is not only engaging and accessible, but effective for real estate agents looking to solidify their value proposition and earn additional commission.&#8221;</p>
  351. <p>Nafi Gerber, Vice President &#8211; Mortgage Education and Compliance at OnCourse Learning, added &#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled to announce our partnership with Realfinity, a move that perfectly aligns with OnCourse Learning&#8217;s mission of fostering career advancement and facilitating learning goals for individuals in the financial services sector. Collaborating with Realfinity broadens our reach into a new market, guaranteeing that real estate professionals have access to comprehensive courses and opportunities essential for success in today&#8217;s dynamic industry.&#8221; </p>
  352. <p>The partnership kicks off with a strategic focus on guiding real estate agents through the mandatory 20-hour federal pre-licensing education, offering both 14-day and 7-day course options. Upon completing the required education, agents gain access to an extensive selection of study materials through Prep XL, prior to passing the SAFE Exam, which consists of 120 multiple-choice questions.</p>
  353. <p>Realfinity and OnCourse Learning are dedicated to a long-term collaboration, enabling Realfinity to offer select real estate agents the opportunity to have their education subsidized and fully integrated into their onboarding experience. This initiative ensures that dual-licensed agents are equipped with the finest educational tools for their immediate licensing needs and for fulfilling ongoing continuing education requirements. </p>

  431. It is estimated that a garbage truck&#8217;s worth of plastic enters the ocean every minute. With plastic use expected to double by 2040, the team feels that it&#8217;s imperative that continued action is taken to both remove as much waste from the community as possible, as well as educate community members on the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. </p>
  432. <p>&#8220;The beach cleanup is more than just picking up litter. It&#8217;s about creating awareness in our community. It&#8217;s about partnering with other local organizations that have an Earth-conscious mindset, and it&#8217;s about sharing the importance of taking care of the planet with our younger generation,&#8221; said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. &#8220;We are proud to continue our commitment of taking the very best care of our community, and look forward to continuing to do so every chance we get.&#8221;</p>
  433. <p>Spodak Dental Group partnered with Trashy Mermaids, a Delray Beach-based volunteer organization that is passionate about protecting the beach and its inhabitants. The beach cleanup event was part of the Great American Cleanup, which is a project of Keep America Beautiful. The Great American Cleanup events during the month of April include a massive removal of litter and illegal dumping from public spaces, including neighborhoods, roadways, waterways, parks, schools, and more. </p>
