Keep This Stock Ticker on Your Watchlist

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.

🌟 Big Idea of the Week

The AI Adoption Gap: Why Women Risk Being Left Behind

Women make up just 42% of ChatGPT’s web users and only 27% of its mobile users. Many cite ethical concerns, while others fear their AI use might be dismissed as “cheating.” Meanwhile, men are often praised for leveraging the same tools as “resourceful.”

Why it matters: The fewer women experiment with AI today, the fewer will influence the design, ethics, and deployment of tomorrow’s systems. That gap threatens to reinforce bias and limit opportunities at the very moment AI is reshaping the future of work.

This week’s challenge:

• Block 20 minutes to test a new AI tool in your workflow.

• Share a demo of your experiment in your next team meeting.

• Reframe AI use as leadership, not shortcutting—you’re modeling smarter, more inclusive ways of working.
