A message from Pacaso

Major investors bet big on this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. No wonder well-known VCs who backed the likes of eBay, Venmo, and Uber already backed Pacaso. They’ve made $110M+ in gross profits to date by bringing co-ownership to a $1.3T market. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. And you can invest, too.
