Thursday Edition - September 11, 2025

Good morning Member

On this September 11, our thoughts turn to a day that left an indelible mark on the nation and in our hearts. It’s a time to pause, to honor those we lost, and to remember the families and communities whose lives were forever changed. Even after all these years, the memories remain vivid—moments that shaped us, humbled us, and reminded us of both our fragility and our strength.

We’d like to open this space for quiet reflection. What moment from 9/11 has stayed with you most? Whether it’s where you were, how you felt, or what you carried forward, your words matter here. Let’s share them with the dignity, compassion, and respect this day deserves.

Let’s revisit yesterday’s Word Unscramble: W Y E N T T

Give this one a try, here’s the final riddle of the week: Press me once and cider flows, green or red, my orchard shows, mulled with spice when north wind blows. What am I?

Share your answer here, and tomorrow we’ll note those who solved it. For now, let’s take a look at today’s headlines across the country.

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.

Paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals.
