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.

Objection Crusher: “Now’s Not a Good Time”
Flip the timing excuse into urgency that closes
You nailed the demo. The stakeholder was engaged. The need is clear. And then they hit you with it: “Let’s circle back next quarter” or “We’re holding off for now.”
The timing objection is the classic stall. It feels polite but kills momentum. Great reps don’t accept it—they lean in and reframe it.
Here’s how to respond without sounding pushy or desperate:
Your Ready-to-Use Scripts
When they say: “This isn’t a priority right now.”
Say: “Totally understand. Can I ask what changed between now and when we started this conversation?”
When they say: “Let’s revisit this in Q4.”
Say: “Sure thing. Just so I can prepare for that convo, what would need to change between now and Q4 to make this a yes?”
When they say: “We’re in a holding pattern.”
Say: “No pressure at all. Can I share what teams in your space have done when timing felt tricky but the need was real?”
When they say nothing—but go dark.
Say (in email or voicemail): “Still worth solving this? Totally fine if now’s not the time—just let me know either way so I can close the loop.”
