Three of the same VC firms that backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay, respectively, are all investing in Pacaso.
Venture backing in companies like Pacaso is nothing new. After all, early-stage companies often have the potential to deliver the most outsized returns.
But, recent regulatory updates have opened the door for individual investors to invest alongside these venture capitalists. Normally, everyday investors have to wait for a company to go public before they can invest, missing out on that early gain potential. Now, some companies are opening up investment opportunities to the public.
This type of investing has already seen some great success stories. For example, in 2016, 433 people invested an average of $2,730 in a private startup named Revolut. Fast-forward to today, those $2,730 stakes are worth more than $1 million, up 89,900%.
That potential could be why 10,000+ investors have taken the chance on Pacaso alongside big-name VCs, contributing $36M+ already. It's no surprise, considering Pacaso's résumé:
The company has made $110M in gross profits to date
Pacaso's co-founder sold his last company to Zillow for $120M
They operate in more than 40 vacation destinations across the U.S., Mexico, UK, and France
The company reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO
The growth potential is where the excitement is. Below we'll reveal more about how Pacaso has built a competitive moat so quickly, and how you can share in their potential growth.
Next-generation co-ownership
After his $120M exit and subsequent role as a Zillow executive, Austin Allison created Pacaso's game-changing co-ownership model. Powered by proprietary tech and an innovative structure that eliminates the headaches of traditional vacation home ownership, it's already leaving a mark. Here's how:
Seamless transactions: Clients easily buy, finance, and resell, shares of luxury homes through Pacaso's intuitive platform.
Clients easily buy, finance, and resell, shares of luxury homes through Pacaso's intuitive platform. Turnkey ownership: Pacaso handles maintenance, scheduling, and furnishing; owners simply enjoy their vacation homes.
Pacaso handles maintenance, scheduling, and furnishing; owners simply enjoy their vacation homes. Maximized value: Homes that once sat empty up to 90% of the year now stay occupied nearly year-round, benefiting owners and local economies.
The demand for their services and expertise is real. In top destinations, co-ownership is growing 21% annually in the U.S., and Pacaso homes have appreciated nearly 10% since 2021 – roughly double the growth of the broader luxury market.
Scaling into 10 new international destinations
Pacaso is already leading the charge in the $1.3 trillion U.S. vacation home market, combining real estate innovation with tech-driven efficiency to generate multiple revenue streams, the company says. These include transaction service fees on every sale, recurring property management fees, and exclusive financing options tailored to co-owners.
And the platform's global reach is growing quickly, as they're already seeing strong returns in the $500B global market. In 2024, they set records in Paris and London. Meanwhile, Cabo is the #3-most-searched destination on their platform. No surprise Europe and Mexico have accounted for 22% of revenue over the past two years, the company says.
Now, they're taking international expansion to an entirely new level. They recently announced 10 new international destinations will be added to their platform, spread across Italy, the Caribbean, and Mexico. That means Pacaso's unique model is poised to dominate a combined $1.8T in vacation home markets.
Why investors are paying attention
There are many reasons why firms managing a combined $180B+ in assets have already backed Pacaso, including:
Proven leadership: With a $120M exit and experience as an executive for Zillow, Allison's real-estate expertise is unmatched.
With a $120M exit and experience as an executive for Zillow, Allison's real-estate expertise is unmatched. Strong growth metrics: Full-year 2024 financials showed a 21% YoY increase in gross real estate volume and a 24% improvement in adjusted EBITDA.
Full-year 2024 financials showed a 21% YoY increase in gross real estate volume and a 24% improvement in adjusted EBITDA. Surging demand: 40% of Americans want to buy a vacation home in the next year (Coldwell Banker), and co-ownership is growing 21% annually in the United States
After impressive full-year earnings showed gross profit grew 41%, and with continued growth and expansion plans ahead, Pacaso is hitting their stride. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Trump tariffs live updates: Inflation starts to show up in US economy; Trump-China next steps in focus
President Trump's tariffs are starting to show up in economic data for the first time in a significant way. Wholesale inflation surged in July, rising by its fastest pace in around three years and stunning market observers. So far, inflation data has shown little impact since Trump began rolling out sweeping duties in the spring. But as the tariffs become more engrained in the US economy, economists expect more data points to align with this week's Producer Price Index report — perhaps most notably in next month's Consumer Price Index. Meanwhile, stock markets haven't yet been phased. US and Japanese stock indexes hit all-time highs this week as the world adapts. New data this week also showed that tariffs have brought in billions in revenue, though economists say a portion of that is already coming in the form of price increases on consumers. On the negotiations front, Trump signed an executive order extending the tariff truce between the US and China for another 90 days, pushing trade negotiations out to November. Average US tariff rates on Chinese goods are currently around 55%, according to Bloomberg. Earlier this month, Trump unveiled "reciprocal" tariffs on dozens of US trade partners (which you can see in the graphic below). The next negotiations to watch are Canada, Mexico, and China in the coming months. Meanwhile, Trump has also promised to begin instituting more sectoral tariffs. He is targeting imports on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals in the near future. The tariffs are also facing legal limbo. Multiple challenges to Trump's tariffs are pending in US federal courts. The one garnering the most attention is a case heard by an appeals court in July. The Court could nullify or uphold the duties at any time. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet Here are the latest updates as the policy reverberates around the world. Applied Materials' shares sink on weak China demand, tariff risks Shares in Applied Materials (AMAT) sank 14% before the bell on Friday after the chip equipment maker issued weak fourth-quarter forecasts on sluggish China demand, fueling concerns over tariff-related risks.

These tariffs are bananas An interesting spot from this week's inflation data: Prices for the reliable, potassium-heavy banana have jumped to their highest price ever recorded. Banana prices peaked around $0.64 per pound in the post-COVID inflation wave and then went on a slow downward trajectory. That is, until April 2025, when President Trump announced his first wave of sweeping tariffs. Prices are now hovering near $0.66 per pound. As the Yale Budget Lab chief Ernie Tedeschi noted on X, the average tariff rate on banana imports went from virtually nothing to very much something as Trump imposed tariffs on most US trading partners. That's nuts!

Tariff confusion drives record volume at Los Angeles Port (Bloomberg) — The Port of Los Angeles said it handled the highest container volume in its 117-year history last month, as uncertainty over President Donald Trump's tariffs drives shippers to front-load cargoes.

That includes containers entering and exiting its terminals, with loaded imports rising by a similar percentage to nearly 544,000 TEUs. The total volume handled was 14.2% higher than in June.

European Union awaits US follow-up on trade deal promises BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union could not say when a joint statement on tariffs with the United States would be ready, nor when the White House would issue an executive order on European car import duties, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. The EU and U.S. reached a framework trade agreement at the end of July but only the 15% baseline tariff on European exports had so far come into effect, as of last week. EU officials previously said a joint statement would follow the deal "very soon" along with executive orders from U.S. President Donald Trump on key carve-outs. "It is an agreement that we believe is strong and the best we could have ... Of course, we expect the U.S. to take further steps that are part of this agreement but I don't believe at this stage we can put a timeline on these engagements," the European Commission spokesperson said.

China urges firms not to use Nvidia H20 chips in new guidance China has told local companies to avoid using Nvidia (NVDA) H20 processors, especially for government work. This makes it harder for Nvidia to recover billions in lost sales in China and affects the US government's plan to benefit from those sales. This latest move by China appears to be in response to the deal Nvidia and AMD (AMD) made with the US government over the weekend to pay the US 15% of the revenue for AI-related chip sales to China, adding a monetization layer to the Trump administration's tariff policy that has reoriented global trade relationships. In recent weeks, Chinese officials warned several firms against using these less advanced chips. The strongest advice was to keep J20 processors out of government national security projects, both for state-owned and private companies. Bloomberg News reports: Read more here.

Cathie Wood Just Bought 2.5 Million Shares of This IPO Company
Aug 15 - Cathie Wood's Ark Invest just doubled down on one of the market's buzziest new listings. On Wednesday Ark bought more than 2.5 million shares of Bullish (NYSE:BLSH), spreading the purchase across three active ETFs: ARK Innovation (ARKK) picked up about 1.74 million shares, ARK Next Generation Internet (ARKW) added 545,416 shares, and ARK Fintech Innovation (ARKF) took 272,755 shares. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with UNH. Bullish, the crypto exchange backed by Peter Thiel, exploded on its first trading day, jumping roughly 84%, and then climbed another 15% the following session as traders piled in. Wood's move signals she wants bigger exposure to crypto infrastructure, and it complements Ark's existing holdings in Coinbase (COIN) and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB). Beyond trading, Bullish also owns CoinDesk, giving Ark both a trading-platform stake and media exposure to crypto audiences. The trade reflects confidence in digital-asset adoption despite ongoing regulatory scrutiny. If crypto gets another hot streak, Ark's latest purchases could prove prescient. If regulators tighten, the same stake could face pressure, but for now, Wood appears to be banking on momentum and long-term upside in crypto infrastructure. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
