Former Zillow Exec Opens Door to $1.3T Market

Austin Allison sold his first company for $120M and later served as an executive for Zillow. However, both companies reached massive valuations before regular people could invest. 

“I always wished everyday investors could have shared in their early success,” Allison later said. So he built Pacaso differently. 

Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home market, earning $110M+ in gross profit in under five years. No wonder the same early investors who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay already invested in Pacaso.

They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. After adding 10 new international destinations, Pacaso is hitting its stride. 

And unlike his previous stops, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company. But you don’t have time to waste. Invest before Pacaso’s opportunity ends on Sept. 18.
