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.

CTV: Premium Screens, Counterfeit Impressions, and the Fraud Diet That Never Ends
The connected-TV market has grown into a $30–40 billion annual playground, but it remains a tale of two realities. On one side, premium screens—Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Roku—where campaigns deliver measurable attention and compliance. On the other, a swamp of counterfeit impressions masquerading as CTV: out-stream auto-play, device spoofing, and smart-device spam that chew through budgets while leaving brand lift stranded in the ditch.
Rio Longacre framed it cleanly: “Legit CTV on the big platforms performs and stays cleaner; but the garbage inventory—the autoplay, the out-stream, the MFA disguised as TV—that’s where fraud lives. And it’s not going away.”
The next wave of defense will come from agentic platforms. If they’re trained with the right policies, agents will default to inventory provenance and creative fit—steering dollars into premium environments and away from MFA honey traps. But it requires brands to stop treating CTV as a vanity channel and start managing it like a forensic audit.
