How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

Tip of the day

This video provides a guide on how to become a more effective and high-level attacker in pickleball by focusing on strategic aggression.

The video explains that effective attackers actively create opportunities by applying pressure on their opponents through aggressive dinking and well-placed shots.

A successful attack starts with identifying the right ball to attack, looking for balls that are net-high or above, slow, and when your opponent is out of position.

To execute a successful attack, you need to focus on a few fundamentals, including proper footwork and having multiple options for your attack.

The video breaks down two common types of attacks: the "Off-the-Bounce Attack" and the "Out-of-the-Air Attack."

For an off-the-bounce attack, it is important to get your paddle tip down early and use a slight "hold" before speeding up, which creates hesitation in your opponent.

For an out-of-the-air attack, you should be very selective about which balls you attack, and use your feet to get behind the ball.

If you cannot attack a ball, simply reset it with a dink and wait for the right opportunity.

Key Points:

  • Creating Pressure: Actively create opportunities by applying pressure on your opponents.

  • Attackable Balls: Look for balls that are net-high or above, slow, and when your opponent is out of position.

  • Fundamentals: Focus on proper footwork and having multiple options for your attack.

  • Off-the-Bounce Attack: Get your paddle tip down early and use a slight "hold" before speeding up.

  • Out-of-the-Air Attack: Be selective about which balls you attack and use your feet to get behind them.
