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.

👋 Hey RemoteFront community,

Getting an interview is a win — but standing out in a remote interview requires different skills than walking into an office. Here are five quick wins that help you shine on screen and land the offer.

1. Master your setup
Good lighting, clear audio, and a clean background go a long way. You don’t need fancy gear — just make sure you’re easy to see and hear.

2. Look into the camera, not the screen
It feels small, but eye contact builds trust. Looking into the camera instead of the video feed makes you appear more engaged and confident.

3. Show remote-ready communication skills
Interviewers want to see that you can explain ideas clearly without being in the same room. Practice concise answers, and use examples of how you’ve worked remotely in the past.

4. Bring proof of your work
Whenever possible, share a portfolio, a case study, or even a document you’ve prepared. Remote interviews are stronger when you can show instead of just tell.

5. Follow up thoughtfully
After the interview, send a short thank-you note that recaps your excitement and highlights one thing you learned from the conversation. It shows professionalism and leaves a lasting impression.
