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.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

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.

Invest While You Still Can

👋 Hey RemoteFront community,

One of the biggest advantages of remote work is flexibility — but that also means salary ranges can vary a lot. If you don’t negotiate, you could be leaving thousands on the table. Here are three simple scripts you can use in your next interview or offer conversation.

✦ How to Negotiate Salary for a Remote Role (3 Simple Scripts)

1. When you get the offer
"Thank you for the offer — I’m really excited about the role. Based on my research and experience, I was expecting something in the [$X–$Y] range. Is there flexibility to bring the offer closer to that?"
👉 Shows enthusiasm while signaling you know your market value.

2. When the recruiter asks about your expectations
"I’m flexible, but based on similar remote roles in the market and my background, I’d be comfortable in the [$X–$Y] range. How does that fit with your budget?"
👉 Anchors the discussion without locking you in.

3. When they say the salary is firm
"I understand. If salary can’t move, could we look at other aspects of the package — like a signing bonus, professional development budget, or extra vacation days?"
👉 Keeps the door open for better total compensation.

💡 The key: Always pair confidence with collaboration. You’re not demanding — you’re aligning expectations.
