Big investors are
buying this
“unlisted”
stock
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
Paid
advertisement
for Pacaso’s
Regulation A
offering. Read
the offering
circular at
invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a
ticker symbol is
not a guarantee
that the company
will go public.
Listing on the
NASDAQ is
subject to
approvals.
