IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PACASO

Zillow's Co-Founder Wishes They Did This Before The IPO

Spencer Rascoff co-founded Zillow, scaling it into a $16b real estate giant. But everyday investors couldn’t invest until after the IPO, missing early gains.

"I wish we had done a round accessible to retail investors prior to Zillow's IPO," Spencer said.

Now he’s doing just that. Spencer has teamed up with another Zillow exec to launch Pacaso. Pacaso’s co-ownership marketplace is disrupting the $1.3t vacation home market. And unlike Zillow, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

With $100m+ in gross profits and rapid international expansion, Pacaso is scaling fast. Investors like SoftBank, Maveron, and more are already on board. Join them as a Pacaso shareholder.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please 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. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.

TIP OF THE DAY

Why Is Your Cutting Board Smiling? It Just Got a Lemon Facial!

Cutting boards can hold onto some funky smells, but lemon juice is a natural deodorizer. Sprinkle coarse salt on the board, then rub it with half a lemon, cut side down.

The salt scrubs away stains, while the lemon juice disinfects and leaves a fresh scent. Rinse with warm water, and your cutting board will be grinning from ear to ear!

FOOD STORAGE
