When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest for $2.90/Share

4. Term Of The Day 📚

Accounts Receivable

📖Definition: A record of all short-term amounts owed to a business by its customers for goods or services delivered on credit.

📊Why it matters: It reflects a company's expected incoming cash flow and is crucial for assessing liquidity and working capital.

💡Example: If a bookstore sells $5,000 worth of books on credit this month, that amount becomes accounts receivable—cash expected to be received later.

5. Song Of The Day 🎧

🎧Song: “Believe in Yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.”
Genre: Pop (motivational vibe)
Why it hits: This empowering lyric—drawn from Roy T. Bennett’s words—serves as a heartfelt anthem for self-belief, ideal for fueling confidence and optimism.
