Zillow's Co-Founder Wishes They Did This Before The IPO

Spencer Rascoff co-founded Zillow, scaling it into a $16b real estate giant.

But everyday investors couldn’t invest until after the IPO, missing early gains.

"I wish we had done a round accessible to retail investors prior to Zillow's IPO," Spencer said.

Now he’s doing just that. Spencer has teamed up with another Zillow exec to launch Pacaso. Pacaso’s co-ownership marketplace is disrupting the $1.3t vacation home market. And unlike Zillow, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

With $100m+ in gross profits and rapid international expansion, Pacaso is scaling fast. Investors like SoftBank, Maveron, and more are already on board. Join them as a Pacaso shareholder.

Paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. There’s no guarantee that Pacaso will file for an IPO.

Note On Contacting: Most of these listings are only available in Japanese. If you’re interested in contacting the owner or purchasing, feel free to reply to this email and we can make an introduction to an English-speaking agent. 😃

These next listings were hand picked by us as being an exceptional value or rare find. These homes tend to sell fast, so we recommend messaging quickly if you find one that interests you!
