They’re a private company, but Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker “$PCSO.”
No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.
Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.
They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.
And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.

Amazon ends shared Prime free shipping outside your home
Amazon is ending the Prime benefit sharing program, which allows Prime members to share their free shipping perk with people outside their household. The program will be discontinued on October 1st, 2025, prompting invitees who don't live with the account holder to sign up for their own subscription at a discounted rate of $14.99 per year. Instead, Amazon is replacing this program with Amazon Family, which allows account holders to share Prime benefits only with people they live with. Everyone in a "Family" must live at the same primary residential address. Amazon is likely ending the program to attract new subscribers, as it failed to meet Prime signup goals in the US during its extended Prime Day event in July. Amazon Family, launched in 2015, offers access to free shipping, additional perks like Prime Video, Prime Reading, third-party benefits like GrubHub, shared ebooks, Amazon Music, and more.
Samsung’s trifold might be launching pretty soon
Samsung is set to launch its first trifold phone this year, with rumors suggesting it might be unveiled this month or next. The phone is expected to be on sale in November, with a limited launch of only 50,000 units. Huawei claims to have received millions of preorders for its first foldable, last year's Mate XT. Other sources suggest the launch may be earlier, with Newsworks expecting an Unpacked event on September 29th to reveal Samsung's Project Moohan XR headset and a pair of AR glasses. It seems increasingly likely that we won't have too long to wait to find out more about the trifold phone.
